Abstract

Abstract Product analyses have been carried out and reaction rates and activation parameters determined for the methoxymercuration of some styrene derivatives and related compounds in methanol. The behaviour of α-and β-alkyl substituted styrenes generally parallels that of the similarly substituted vinylferrocenes. The anomalous reactivity of β, β- dimethylstyrenes is suggested to arise from the structural features of this compound. The ...
