Abstract
Substituted benzylic compounds are brominated with an excess of N-bromosucc inimide (NBS) in CCl4 to the corresponding polybrominated mixtures which ar e then debrominated with diethyl phosphite and N,N-diisopropylethylamine to afford the desired monobromides in satisfactory yields and high purity.
