ORIENTATION STUDIES IN REACTIONS ACCOMPANIED BY NEIGHBORING GROUP EFFECTS
Abstract
Pure propylene chloro-, bromo-, and iodohydrins were prepared; these compounds were adequately characterized by their physical properties and by preparation of their 3, 5-dinitrobenzoates which are crystalline solids. Analytical procedures based on IR spectrophotometry were developed for these isomers, and semiquantitative analysis of the dinitrobenzoates was accomplished. The reaction of propylene oxide with hydrohalic acids was studied; the relative percentages of the 2 isomeric products obtained under different conditions were explained theoretically. The results obtained in the study of the addition of positive halogen salts to 1-propene may be explained in terms of an intermediate carbonium or cyclic halonium ion.
