Abstract

1-Alkyl- and 2-alkylnaphthalenes are conveniently brominated in the 4-and 1-positions respectively using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in acetonitrile. The reactions are easy to perform and give higher chemical yields and better regioselectivity compared to brominations employing bromine/dichloromethane.
