✦ Synopsis
The cis-trans isomerization of 1 by Br2 in CC14 is described. A bridged bromonium cation a to CF, is destabilized resulting-in a carbocation bromide ion pair at the B-carbon capable of freg rotation and loss of bromine to form 2. A CF2 group appears to be more effective in promoting isomerization than aryl in the case of stilbenes.
We recently described a synthesis of (Z)-7,7-difluoro-8-dodecenyl acetate (I), a fluoro derivative of the sex pheromone of the oriental fruit moth and its photo isomerization to the E-isomer 2.
