Abstract

Aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds undergo facile bromination with N- bromosuccinimide under UV–vis irradiation to give the corresponding α-brominated ketones in good yields, at low temperatures (30° C), without any catalyst, catalyst support or radical initiator and within a short time.
