This report describes the development of a water-tolerant green catalyst for benzyl bromination. The catalyst, indium chloride, exhibits high catalytic activity with a variety of toluene derivatives in continuous flow. Good yields (59–77%) were obtained in all the cases. Improved selectivity was observed under flow conditions, when compared to batch operation.
