Acetylenes were stereoselectively brominated with molecular bromine adsorbed on graphite in dichloromethane to produce (E)-α,β-dibromoalkenes; isomerization of the E-isomer to the Z-isomer, usually catalyzed by bromine, did not occur in the presence of graphite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
