Abstract

It was reported in a previous communication2 that 2-acetoxyheptene-1 added bromine readily to form an unstable bromide with distinct lachrymatory properties. We have investigated this bromination reaction in greater detail and are now able to describe its course. By brominating vinyl acetate at various temperatures between 5 and 70'Weibel and Nieuwland3 obtained 1, 2-dibromoethyl acetate in yields which increased with rising ...
