Abstract
A direct 1,2-dibromination of alkenes with 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH) as bromine source proceeds under mild reaction conditions without the use of a catalyst and an external oxidant. Various sorts of alkene substrates are transformed into the corresponding 1,2-dibrominated products in good to excellent yields and exclusive diastereoselectivity.
