Abstract

Summary An empirical rule for the estimation of steric hindrance to addition reactions at a doublybonded aliphatic function is enunciated. If one numbers the atoms in branched compounds starting with the atom of the doubly-bonded function most distant from the chain then the greater the nsmbtw of atoms in the six position the greater the steric hindrance to addition. Applications of this rule to many experimental facts are reviewed. Refinements of ...
