Abstract
IN connexion with a re-investigation of the preparation, structure and reactivity of the bromo compound prepared from 2: 6-dimethyloctadiene-2,6 and N-bromosuccinimide1, an examination of the analogous reactions with some simple Δ1 olefins has been undertaken. A recent theoretical discussion2 of the reaction mechanism operative in the latter systems prompts us to present a summary of our findings.
