The role of pyridine (Py) in the bromination of p‐bromophenol (ArH) in CCl 4 has been investigated. At constant concentrations of ArH and Br 2 , the rate of disappearance of Br 2 increases to reach a limiting value as the concentration of Py is increased. The mechanism suggested to account for the rate expression, Rate = constant [ArH] [Br 2 ] T [Py] T , obtained from the initial rate studies, involves the interaction between ArH and the brominating species Py. Br 2 , in the rate determining step. Py acts as a catalyst probably by virtue of its ability to polarise the Br‐Br bond.
