P. Velusamy et al., SELECTIVITY IN BROMINATION OF ANILINE AND N-SUBSTITUTED ANILINES ENCAPSULATED IN BETA-CYCLODEXTRIN, Tetrahedron, 52(10), 1996, pp. 3487-3496
In contrast to the conventional bromination, aniline and N-methylanili
ne encapsulated in beta-Cyclodextrin (beta-CD) give ortho-bromoaniline
and para-bromo-N-methylaniline respectively in larger yield. The resu
lts are explained on the basis of mode of complexation between beta-CD
and anilines.
