A general procedure for bromination of aromatic compounds activated with electron donating substituents such as acetamido, hydroxyl, or ether groups is described. Bromine is generated in situ from potassium bromate and hydrobromic acid. This procedure avoids the hazards associated with direct handling of bromine or bromine solutions. The results from seven aromatic ethers and anilides are reported.
