Abstract

Abstract Simple bromination of olefins almost invariably yields the trans-1, 2-dibromo- product, and in many cases the corresponding cis-product is an unknown compound. Approaches towards a reagent which will generally, mildly and stereospecifically cis- brominate olefins are now discussed.
