In this work we found that a H₂O₂–HBr(aq) system allows synthesis of α-monobromo ketones and α,α′-dibromo ketones from aliphatic and secondary benzylic alcohols with yields up to 91%. It is possible to selectively direct the process toward the formation of mono- or dibromo ketones by varying the amount of hydrogen peroxide and hydrobromic acid. The convenience of application, simple equipment, multifaceted reactivity, and compliance with green chemistry principles make the application of the H₂O₂–HBr(aq) system very attractive in laboratories and industry. The proposed oxidation–bromination process is selective in spite of known properties of ketones to be oxidized by the Baeyer–Villiger reaction or peroxidated with the formation of compounds with the O–O moiety in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and Bronsted acids.
