Abstract

I I1 Ar= C6&-or substd. C&-R= C&O-, CHa-R'= C6H6-, CHI-, CzHbOzC-compounds of type I in cold acetic acid-sodium acetate solution to give halides of type 11, a cleavage of a carbon- carbon bond having occurred during the reaction. The papers cited above reported no mechanism studies. This paper presents the results of experiments designed to elucidate the mechanism of this cleavage reaction. Two of the three parent compounds of this series ...
