The possibility of adding an N-haloamine to an unsaturated compound has been demonstrated; direct addition of the elements of N-bromomorpholine to trans- benzalacetophenone has produced a new form of a-bromo-B-morpholinobenzylaceto- phenone, the diastereoisomer of the previously known form. Hydrolysis and methanolysis of the new isomer proceeded readily, yielding, respectively, a-morpholino-B- ...
