Organic Synthesis Using Sodium Bromate. II. A Facile Synthesis of N-Bromo Imides and Amides Using Sodium Bromate and Hydrobromic Acid (or Sodium Bromide) in the Presence of Sulfuric Acid

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.66.2426

The reaction of imides and amides in water (or aqueous acetic acid) with sodium bromate and hydrobromic acid (or sodium bromide) in the presence of sulfuric acid under mild conditions gave the corresponding N-bromides in high yields.
