Mv. Baker et Jd. Watling, USING FREE-RADICAL BROMINATION TO FUNCTIONALIZE THE SURFACES OF SELF-ASSEMBLED ALKYLSILOXANE MONOLAYERS, Tetrahedron letters, 36(26), 1995, pp. 4623-4624
When hexadecylsiloxane monolayers are immersed in solutions of bromine
in carbon tetrachloride and irradiated with a tungsten light source,
C-H bonds near the surface of the monolayer undergo free-radical bromi
nation.
