ChemInform Abstract: Oxidative Nuclear Bromination of Substituted 4-Pyridones Using Pyridinium Bromochromate

An alternative convenient approach for the bromination of various poly-substituted 4-pyridones has been developed via an oxidative nuclear bromination in the presence of sole pyridinium bromochromate (PBC). The PBC performs the dual role of oxidant and source of Br+ during the process. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.
