Abstract: An efficient electrophilic thiocyanation of phenols and anilines in the CeBr₃ / H₂O₂ system has been developed. The system CeBr₃ / H₂O₂ generates reactive brominating species which would react with NH₄SCN to deliver the active SCN cations in situ. The Br^- anion can be further oxidized to Br⁺, thereby furnishing the catalytic cycle.

Keywords: thiocyanation, phenols, anilines, CeBr₃/ H₂O₂ system, reactive brominating species, Fenton-like chemistry.
