Abstract

Acetophenone react with N-bromosuccinimide and p-toluenesulphonic acid (p-TsOH) using acetonitrile as a solvent to yield α-bromoacetophenone in high yields. The reaction does not take place in the absence of p-TsOH. However, the reaction is possible photochemically even in the absence of p-TsOH.
