Regioselective Aromatic Monobromination of Alkyl Phenyl Ethers with NaClO₂, NaBr, Mn(acac)₃, and Montmorillonite K10 in Dichloromethane

Abstract

Abstract Regioselective and high-yielding nuclear monobromination of aromatic ethers can be accomplished with a combination of NaClO2, NaBr, and Mn(acac)3 catalyst in dichloromethane under mild and neutral conditions with the aid of Montmorillonite K10.
