Abstract
Abstract The bromination of 3-bromo-6, 7-benzobicyclo [3.2.1] octa-2, 6-diene at −50°C has been found to give only one product, the tribromide(7) produced via Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement with accompanying aryl migration. The bromination at 0°C produced nonrearranged tribromides beside the rearranged product. The structures of the products were determined by means of spectral data. The addition mechanism is discussed in terms of exo- and endo-attack.
