X-Ray structure of threo-1-bromomercuri-2-t-butylperoxy-1,2-diphenylethane, a crystallographic proof of the stereochemistry of the peroxymercuration of cis-stilbene
Abstract
The configuration of the title compound has been determined; it is shown that there is intramolecular co-ordination between mercury and the t-butylperoxy group with Hg–O 2·68(4)Å.
