Abstract
The addition of deuterium bromide to indene in methylene chloride or pentane at -- 78 deg gives 1-bromo-2deuterioindane containing 80% of the cis adduct. A mechanism involving intermediate carbonium ion pairs is suggested to account for the available experimental evidence for the polar addition of hydrogen halides to olefins.
