Abstract

Since the compounds formed by replacing the hydrogen atoms of active methyl groups by halogen are in many instances halogenating agents,' it might be expected that the substances formed by halogenating the active methyl group of the nitrotoluenes would possess similar proper- ties. In examining this possibility, attention was directed toward the 0-polybromo derivatives be- cause in general the tendency to halogenate is greater in bromine compounds than in ...
