bromine exchange between bromonium ions and olefins can be rapid
Neverov, A. A.; Brown, R. S. J. Org. Chem. 1996, 61, 962-968
The paucity of such methods can be ascribed in part to a lack of understanding of the factors that influence the configurational stability of the intermediate halonium ions.
