Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-1139(00)82233-2

The direct action of fluorine on bromine at -78 deg C produces BrF which, without any isolation or purification, adds readily across various double bounds providing there is some hydrogen donor in the reaction mixture.Only trans addition of the elements o
