## Abstract Hydrogen bromide is known to inhibit the bromination of aromatic substrates (ArH), either by fixing up bromine as HBr~3~ or ArH as ArH Β· HBr. However, there is catalysis by HBr in the bromination of mesitylene in acetic acid. The bromination of __o__βxylene in acetic acid in the dark is
