A novel bromination of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids was developed via a decarboxylation by virtue of a direct anodic electro-oxidation.In this method,ammonium bromide was employed as a bromine source and the reaction features transition-metal-free,short time,and no additional supporting electrol...
