The brominative decarboxylation of bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane-l-carboxylic acid in the presence of mercuric oxide in carbon tetrachloride yields appreciable quantities of both 1-chloro-and 1-bromobicyclo [2.2. 2 [octane. Even in bromotrichloromethane some 1-chlorobicyclo [2.2. 2] octane is formed. These results are readily interpreted on the basis of a free radical mechanism. Theintermediate 1-bicyclo [2.2. 2 [octyl free radical is apparently sufficiently reactive to abstract chlorine rather than bromine from bromotrichloromethane. The addition of a mixture of acidand mercuric oxide to excess bromine in bromotrichloromethane provides the desired 1-bromo-bicyclo [2.2. 2 [octane free ofcontamination by the chloride. It was also found that the pure bromide was ob-tained by reaction in 1, 2-dibromoethane. The reaction of the acid and oxide with iodine in carbon tetrachloride yields 1-bicyclo [2.2. 2] octyl bicyclo [2.2. 2] octane-l-carboxylate and 1-chlorobicyclo [2.2. 2 [octane.The Hunsdiecker reaction, the decarboxylation of the silver salt of a carboxylic acid in the presence of molecular halogen, frequently is a valuable method for the introduction ofhalogens. 3 Recently, Cristol and Firth demonstrated that the use of mercuric oxide with the carboxylic acid possessed considerable ad-vantage obviating the necessity for fully anhydrous conditions. 4 We attempted to apply this reaction for the synthesis of 1-bromobicyclo [2.2. 2] octane. How-ever, the adoption of conventional conditions, ie,
