The addition of bromine to some anilides of cinnamic acid

Abstract

Reactions involving the addition of halogens to ethylene compounds have been investigated over a number of years and much literature has accumulated, but there has been little correlation between the various aspects of the work. Such reactions are influenced by a variety of factors, under which the different branches of the investigations may conveniently be considered. These include:- 1. Influence of the halogen. 2. Environment of the double bond. 3. Influence of solvent. 4. Kinetics of the reactions. 5. Influence of radiation. 6. Effect of water.
