Electrophilic Aromatic Bromination Using Bromodimethylsulfonium Bromide Generated in Situ.
It has been shown that bromodimethylsulfonium bromide, generated in situ by treating dimethyl sulfoxide with aqueous hydrobromic acid, is a milder and more selective reagent for electrophilic aromatic bromination than elemental bromine.
