Abstract:

Bromination of aliphatic hydrocarbons with NaOH/CBr₄
under phase‐transfer conditions selectively gives the tertiary bromide.
In the absence of a tertiary C–H bond in the molecule, a secondary bond
will be activated (see reaction equation). This conceptionally new
system for aliphatic C–H activation very likely relies on the initiation
of single‐electron transfer followed by a radical substitution with
unusually high regioselectivity.
