The enthalpies of isomerization (AH4 of six pairs of geometrically isomeric 1, 2-disubstituted ethylenes were either determined directly from heat of combustion measurements or obtained from literature values. These AH·, values were corrected to acetic acid conditionsby measuring heats of solutionin that solvent. Bimolecular rate constants (fa) for bromination of ten of the above olefihs, and several more of interest, were determined at several temperatures in acetic acid using stopped flow methods in most cases. Values of AH+ and AS* were obtained for each isomer. These reactions were also analyzed for dibromide-acetoxybromide product distribution and product stereochemistry. In some cases stereospecific anti addition was observed, and in others variable stereoselectivity was obtained. However, in all cases the initial enthalpy difference between starting cis and trans isomers was increased at thebromination transition state. It is concluded that, although bridged transition states are involved in all cases, these may lead to. either bridged or open cationic intermediates, depending on the nature of the attached groups. It is also shown that in these reactions large values of AAH and AAF (cis-trans) for the reactants do not generally decrease monotonically along the reaction coordinate as small AAH and AAF values for the diastereomeric products are approached.For a long time, electrophilic bromine additions to olefins were considered to be generally stereospecific and anti, which was explained in terms of the wellknown cyclic bromonium ion intermediate of Roberts and Kimball, 1 but it is now clear that these reactions can show variable stereoselectivity, ranging all the way from predominant syn to exclusive anti addition. 2 The nature of the intermediate has been shown to depend strongly on starting olefinstructure and on the solvent, and it is now more reasonable to propose a spectrum of possible ionic intermediates, of which I and Ill are extremes.
