Abstract

Introduction Previous studies in this Laboratory on the addition of hydrogen bromide to ethylene compounds under carefully controlled conditions have indicated that the controlling factor guiding the addition to the double bond was the peroxide content of the reaction mixture.'However, simple experiments with peroxide containing unsaturated compounds demonstrated that hydrogen iodide is an excellent reagent for decomposing organic ...
