Bromination of some aromatic compounds by means of bromine in tetrachloroethane medium

Abstract Bromination of some aromatic compounds is carried out using bromine in tetrachloroethane medium in the presence of iodine as a halogen carrier. The compounds investigated here are classified into: (i) compounds which yield pentabromophenol, (ii) compounds which yield other polybromoderivatives, and (iii) those which do not react with the brominating agent.
