Abstract

A heterogeneous silver catalyst was prepared and applied efficiently for the selective bromination of aromatics with NBS. The silver nanoparticles combined with the acidic support HMB can activate both the aromatic ring and NBS, and the synergistic effects between the silver nanoparticles and the HMB highly enhanced the efficiency of the bromination reaction.
