Abstract

Abstract: TO provide evidence about the importance of bridged radical intermediates in halogenation reactions, brominations and chlorinations of several (halomethy1) cyclohexanes have been carried out. Bromination is far more selective than chlorination, but in both processes substitution at the tertiary position vicinal to the halogen already present is much more extensive than is to be expected without assistance from neighboring halogen. ...
