Abstract

The zeolite‐catalyzed hydrobromination of 1‐alkenes was investigated. Contrary to literature data, normal (Markovnikov) addition of hydrogen bromide yielding 2‐bromoalkanes was observed if peroxide impurities were removed thoroughly from the reactants. Substantial amounts of 3‐ and 4‐bromoalkanes were formed due to zeolite‐catalyzed isomerization of the alkene.
