Abstract
A wide variety of unsubstituted β-keto esters can be brominated chemoselectively to the corresponding α-monobromo-β-keto esters by using a combination of vanadium pentoxide, hydrogen peroxide and ammonium bromide in a biphasic system, dichloromethane-water at 0-5 °C. In addition, α-mono substituted β-keto esters, cyclic β-keto-esters and 1,3-diketones can also be brominated selectively using the same protocol.
