Abstract
Abstract Experimental and theoretical studies showed the differences observed in the benzylic tetrabromination reactions in 2,5-dimethylterephthalonitrile compared to 1,4-dimethylbenzene. It was observed that the compound containing the nitrile substituent underwent a slower bromination reaction, with the formation of four intermediate compounds, while for the compound without substituents, the reaction was faster and only two intermediate compounds were observed.
