“…Three major oxidative bromination products i.e. 5‐bromo‐2‐hydroxyl benzaldehyde (5‐BrS), 3‐bromo‐2‐hydroxy benzaldehyde (3‐BrS) and 3, 5‐dibromo‐2‐hydroxybenzaldehyde (3,5‐BrS), were identified during the catalytic reaction (Scheme ) . PS‐[V V O 2 (Haeae‐sal)] ( 5 ) was used as a representative catalyst during the optimization of different reaction parameters namely amount of catalyst, amount of oxidant (30% aqueous H 2 O 2 ), amount of perchloric acid, amount of potassium bromide and amount of solvent, while keeping other reaction conditions such as RPM of magnetic stirrer, size of magnetic bead, shape and size of reaction flask, etc.…”
