Can the ion bromonium be produced from NBS without HBr?

Post by ScarletDemiurge »

I'm trying to figure out the mechanism for this reaction

). As far as I understand, it is an electrophilic aromatic substitution, but I don't understand how to get a bromonium ion out of the NBS. I read that the Br in an N-Br bond has a partial positive charge so could the triazole attack it directly? Or do I need to first separate the Br, turn it into a bromonium ion, and then attack that ion with the triazole? If so, does anyone know how to do that? I read that it can be done in the presence of HBr, but this reaction does not include HBr anywhere, so I'm not sure what happens there.

So far I know it separates by hγ. Light.
