β¦ Synopsis
The logarithms of the rates of methoxymercuration of p-substituted styrenes give excellent correlations with, both, (J and 0'. Based on the values of p and p+ obtained, an unsymmetric bridged ion is proposed as the intermediate formed in these reactions. The nature of the intermediate formed during electrophilic addition reactions has been the subject of numerous studies. Based on the evidence -stereochemical, kinetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical _ currently, available, three different structures, I -III, for these intermediates have been proposed by various workers in the field (l), where E, I, II, and III represent the

The sonochemical excitation of 4-substituted styrenes in acetic acid was studied by quenching the radical species with pyrocatechol. The rate-limiting vaporization step, evidenced by the linear free energy relationship (LFER) between the excitation and the vapor pressure of the styrenes, is a charac
1,2-Cyclohexadiene (2) undergoes addition to a series of substituted styrenes with a Hammett p value of +0.79. Deuterium labelling shows the addition is stepwise.
