A substance, reagent, or device used to introduce bromine into a chemical compound or to carry out bromization.
From 'bromize' plus the agent noun suffix '-er' (indicating a thing or person that performs an action), following the pattern of 'oxidizer' and 'chlorinator'.
In laboratories, common bromizers include N-bromosuccinimide and molecular bromine itself—chemists carefully choose which bromizer to use based on which atoms they want to replace and how reactive the target molecule is.
