Cyclodextrin acts as a restricting nanovessel to enhance regioselectivity in bromination of substituted phenols such as 3-nitrophenol, 2-chlorophenol, 3-chlorophenol, and 4-chlorophenol. In contrast to solution bromination, cyclodextrin facilitates regioselective monobromination and formation of polybrominated products are substantially reduced. Selectivities in brominations are also observed in water and in the solid state. The observed results are rationalized on the basis of specific modes of inclusion of substituted phenols inside the cyclodextrin cavity and find strong support from energy minimization studies and 1H-1H NOESY.
Ortho-Specific Bromination of Phenols

Phenol as well as 3-substituted phenols are brominated exclusively in the ortho positions by N.N-dibromomethylamine, yielding 2.6-dibrominated phenols in excellent yields.Phenols bearing an ortho-substituent need N-bromomethylamine as the brominating agent to take up one bromine atom into the free ortho-position. para-Bromination is not observed in either case. 1-Naphthol gives 2-bromo-1-naphthol, 8-hydroxyquinoline gives 7-bromo-8-hydroxyquinoline with 80percent and 98percent yield respectively. ortho-Specific chlorination of phenols was carried out in some cases using N-chloro-alkylamines.
