A simple, efficient, and mild method for selective bromination of activated aromatic compounds using potassium bromide in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridine)supported bromate in nonaqueous solution is reported. The results obtained revealed excellent to good selectiveity between ortho and para positions of methoxyarenes, anilines, and phenols.
