Part I
The pyrolysis of cis- and trans- 1, 2-divinyl-1- trimethylsiloxy -
cyclohexane, II- and III-TMS, under the same conditions as the
pyrolysis of cis-l-vinyl -1-trimethylsiloxycyclooct-3-ene, I-TMS,
confirms that a sequence of concerted reactions for the rearrangement
of II- and III-TMS to trans-l-trimethylsiloxycyclodec-3-ene,
IV-TMS, is a viable pathway in the...
In this investigation the addition of hydrogen bromide
to 3-methylcyclohexene has been studied in order to see if
the theory of hyperconjugation could be extended to include
olefins of this type. Since the olefin has an equal number
of hydrogens on both carbons carrying the double bond, a
mixture of...
