Butadiene copolymers are brominated using certain quaternary ammonium tribromides as the brominating agent. The bromination process proceeds easily under mild conditions, and produces a brominated product that has excellent thermal stability. A quaternary ammonium monobromide salt is produced as a reaction by-product. A solvent for the monobromide salt is added to the reaction after 25-90% bromination of the aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds. This provides for significantly shorter reaction times while providing a product with few impurities.
