Abstract

(6) &I. Poutsma [J. Ow. Chem., S1, 4167 (196611 has already discussed the variation in the ratio of 1, 2 to 1, 4 addition with a change in mechanism in the chlorination of butadiene. We have found that this ratio varies in nearly an identical manner in the bromination of butadiene. An article on our investigation has been accepted for publication in a. forthcoming iseue of this journal. methanol molecule. One explanation for this observation ...
