The overall reaction is usually given as: 3CH2(COOH)2(aq) + 4BrO3–(aq) → 4Br–(aq) + 9CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) The oxidation of the malonic acid by the bromate(V) ions is catalyzed by manganese(II) ions, and ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...
