title = "Mild and Efficient Vicinal Dibromination of Olefins Mediated by Aqueous Ammonium Fluoride",
abstract = "A mild and efficient vicinal dibromination of olefins has been developed by using saturated aqueous ammonium fluoride solution as the promoter. Inexpensive and commercially available N -bromosuccinimide (NBS) was used as the brominating reagent. The corresponding vicinal dibromoalkanes could be obtained in good to excellent yields.",
