Vicinal dihalogenation of alkenes is a fundamental textbook reaction. Such reactions are still mainly performed by traditional methods that imply the use of toxic, corrosive and not easy to handle reagents. Herein, we report a simple, efficient and eco-friendly alternative that challenges those conventional methods and allows not only the homonuclear but also the heteronuclear dihalogenation of alkenes

A practical method for the dibromination of alkenes without using molecular bromine is consistently appealing in organic synthesis. Herein, we report Mn-catalyzed dibrominated addition and substitution of alkenes only with N-bromosuccinimide, producing a variety of synthetically valuable dibrominated compounds in moderate to high yields.
