Abstract

In superacids ortho or para bromo phenols are isomerized into the meta bromo isomers. In SbF 5 -HF, the process is intramolecular and proceeds by a 1,2-Br shift. In CF 3 SO 3 H, the mechanism involves loss of bromine, followed by meta bromination. ... In superacid phenols ethers are more rapidly brominated than the corresponding phenols. ...
