Abstract

A mixture of N-bromoacetamide and hydrogen chloride has been used as a source of the elements of bromine chloride for addition to ethylene, styrene, cinnamic acid, cis-stilbene and trans-stilbene. The structures of the chlorobromides which were obtained support the polar mechanism of addition in which positive bromine is transferred to the double bond to form a complex, eg, the bromonium ion, which is attacked by chloride ion to give the ...
