Orange crystalline tetrabutylammonium tribromide was prepared using a simple method. The reaction of acetyl derivatives with an equimolar amount of the tribromide in dichloromethane–methanol at room temperature gave bromoacetyl derivatives in fairly good yields.

Tetrabutylammonium tribromide effectively synthesizes bromoacetyl derivatives from acetyl derivatives in fairly good yields at room temperature.
