Overview
Bromoacetonitrile is produced by mixing bromine and acetone in the presence of catalytic acid. Like all ketones, Acetone is enolized when it is in contact with bases or acids. The alpha carbon undergoes electrophilic transformation by bromine. The biggest issue when using this method is that it causes over-bromination that results in tri-brominated and dibrominated products. If there is a base the bromoform can be obtained through the haloform reaction.
