Substituent effects on the formation and equilibration of trans-1,2-dibromocyclohexanes
Abstract
Ratios of diaxial to diequatorial dibromides ranging from 15·7 to 0·76 for the kinetic and from 1·7 to more than 100 for the thermodynamic products have been observed for the bromination products of some cyclohexenes substituted in the 3- and 4-position with groups of different size and polarity.
