Disclosed is a method of preparing brominated substituted anilines. A mixture in water is formed of a substituted aniline having the general formula where each R is independently selected from halogen, alkyl and haloalkyl from C1 to C12, aryl, alkaryl, and aralkyl from C6 to C12, R does not occupy all three 2, 4, and 6 positions, and n is 1 to 4. To the suspension is added about 1.0 to about 1.1 equivalents of bromine for each bromine atom to be substituted onto the aromatic ring of said substituted aniline. No acid is present during the reaction.
