Abstract
In contrast to recent studies, molybdenum(VI) and vanadium(V) catalysed oxidative bromination reactions are found to depend on the presence of stoichiometric amounts of acid. Thus, recent reports on Lewis-acid catalysed oxybromination systems are re-examined. The relevance of these systems as bromoperoxidase enzyme mimics and also the potential application of enzymatic halogenation as a ‘green’ bromination option are discussed.
