Mechanisms of addition. Part II. The stereochemistry of addition of bromine and bromine acetate to some phenyl-substituted olefins
Abstract
The addition of bromine acetate to some phenyl-substituted olefins is, more stereospecific than the corresponding additions of chlorine acetate. The stereochemistry of addition of bromine to methyl para-methyl-trans-cinnamate depends on concentration. The results have mechanistic implications.
