Organic Reactions Involving Bromine: Puzzles for the Organic Laboratory
Sarita I. McGowens and Ernest F. Silversmith
Morgan State University, Department of Chemistry, Baltimore, MD 21251

October 1998
Vol. 75 No. 10
p. 1293
Abstract
Five puzzles for the organic chemistry laboratory are described. All involve bromine, which is generated in a safe, convenient way that makes it possible to control the amount of bromine precisely. Three of the puzzles involve orientation in electrophilic aromatic substitution, one is a determination of the stereochemistry of addition to alkenes, and the other one looks at the possibility of dehydrohalogenation following addition.
