cis-Bromination of Alkynes without cationic intermediates.
Angew. Chem.-Int. Edit. 44, 1412-1416 (2005)
Surprising insight into a classical mechanism is provided by theoretical and experimental investigations on the bromination of alkynes. In nonpolar solvents the bromination of acetylene via a covalent tribromide adduct is strongly favored over the textbook mechanism via a bridged bromirenium ion. The structurally interesting intermediate explains the syn selectivity of the bromination of strained cycloalkynes.
