Electrochemical regioselective bromination of electron-rich aromatic rings using stoichiometric tetrabutylammonium bromide (n Bu4 NBr) has been accomplished under mild conditions. This protocol provides an environmentally friendly and simple way for the construction of C–Br bond in moderate to high yields with wide functional group tolerance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
