Kinetic investigations of the electrochemical bromination of peracetylated d-glucal in organic solvents

► Electrochemical oxidation of a bromide salt into tribromide and bromine species. ► Reactivity of tribromide and bromine species towards 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-d-glucal. ► Kinetic investigations as a function of the nature of both the solvent and the brominated species.
