A highly efficient methodology in neutral medium has been developed for the
synthesis of bromoanilides from the corresponding anilides using N-bromosu
ccinimide in carbon tetrachloride under irradiation with visible light. The
products are obtained in highly pure crystalline state with an excellent y
ield.
