Abstract

The halogenation of cis-and truns-diethylhexahydrophthalates has been investigated with the object of determining whether, in these two diastereoisomers,. replacement of an a- hydrogen atom by a halogen atom through an atomic mechanism proceeds with retention of configuration, racemization or inversion. 2 The cis-and trans-diethyl hexahydrophthalates were selected for this study since the pure isomeric forms were readily obtainable and ...
