Abstract

The addition of chlorine tocis-cyclooctene yields thetrans-dichloride, which has a dipole moment of 3· 1D, that is slightly solvent dependent. The correspondingcis-dichloride was not obtained by the chlorination of thetrans-olefin, but was synthesized indirectly, and found to have a dipole moment of 2· 3D, which is also solvent dependent. The addition of halogen totrans-cyclooctene was shown to yield a complex mixture of products, the major one ...
