Organocatalytic stereospecific dibromination of a wide variety of functionalized alkenes was achieved using a stable, inexpensive halogen source, 1,3-dibromo 5,5-dimethylhydantoin, and a simple thiourea catalyst at room temperature. The presence of a tertiary amine enhanced the rate of the dibromination reaction, and yields were good in various solvents, including aqueous solvents. The procedure was extended to alkynes and aromatic rings and to dichlorination reactions by using the 1,3-dichloro hydantoin derivative.

Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-bromine complex (PVP-Br2) is easily prepared and used as a mild and convenient reagent for selective bromination of alkenes and at the position α-hydrogen of active carbonyl compounds. Selective oxidation of benzylic alcohols in the presence of aliphatic alcohols were also achieved at room temperature.
