THE EFFECT OF STRUCTURE ON THE RATE OF DEOXYMERCURATION,

Abstract

Consideration is given to the rate-determining step of deoxymercuration and its transition state. Evidence suggests that the initially formed isomer is trans and the product of the rate-determining step is an olefinmercuric monoiodide complex. Both cis and trans isomers apparently require a planar transition state, a series of which are proposed.
