Reactions of a-Amylvinyl Acetate.-This compound (IV) dissolved in carbon tetrachloride adds bromine very readily to form an unstable bromide with distinct lachrymatory properties. It dissolves completely in cold concentrated sulfuric acid and is not reprecipitated by careful dilution with cold water. Ammonolysis of the ester (IV) yields acetamide and amyl methyl ketone (V). This work is being continued in order to complete several homologous series ...
