It is shown that mercury-for-mercury replacement in the reactions of s-butylmercuric bromide, acetate, and nitrate, severally, with di-s-butylmercury in ethanol is the anticipated, but observationally new, three-alkyl substitution, proceeding by the bimolecular electrophilic mechanism SE2, in which stereochemical configuration is fully preserved. That this threealkyl electrophilic exchange is indeed under observation, rather than any other ...
