Diaryl λ3-bromanes are a rare and generally unresearched class of compounds. A mild and efficient protocol now delivers a broad palette of these interesting building blocks for organic synthesis. As a French research team has reported in the journal Angewandte Chemie, these compounds demonstrate higher reactivity and different selectivity than the corresponding iodane compounds.
