Abstract
Microwave-induced solvent-free brominations of organic substrates have been carried out with tetrabutylammonioum
tribromide, (C4H9)4N+(Br3). Reactions are facile, affording products in high yields within very short reaction times.

Keywords: Microwave (MW); bromination; tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB); environmentally benign reaction
