Abstract

Abstract: Correlations of ionization potentials (IP's) versus relative reactivities of a variety of alkenes toward bromination, oxymercuration, and hydroboration show very good (r= 0.83) to excellent (r= 0.98) agreement. The use of alkenes having a broad range of steric requirements and electronic effects reveals that bromination is independent of steric effects while oxymercuration and hydroboration each exhibit a natural separation into sterically ...
