Abstract
AbstractUsing UV spectroscopy it is shown that phenols, e.g. 1‐naphthol (I), react with NBS to give via aryl hypobromides (and succinimide) a 2‐bromodienone, e.g. (II), which enolizes to the 2‐bromophenol, e.g. (III), thermally or photolytically with a wide range of rate constants depending on the parent phenol.
