Abstract
Bromination of alkenes using a combination of potassium bromide and cerium( iv) ammonium nitrate (CAN) in a two phase system consisting of water and di chloromethane, affords the corresponding dibromides in excellent yield. The reaction most likely involves the addition of the bromine radical generate d from bromide ion by CAN and subsequent formation of the dibromide. (C) 20 01 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
