Applications of the DIB–BBr3 Protocol in Bromination Reactions

Non-symmetrical bromoiodanes are useful for bromination reactions, and some protocols were found to be suitable for specific substrates. Herein, we report the use of a DIB/BBr3 protocol for various bromination reactions, including electrophilic bromination of arenes, carbonyl C–H monobromination, bromolactonization, bromocarbocyclization, intermolecular bromoetherification of olefin, and light-triggered C(sp3)–H bromination.
