Abstract
Abstract The isomerization of the bromotoluenes in radioactive toluene with Al2Br6 as a catalyst was investigated. The isomerizations ortho-para and para-ortho are completely intermolecular, and are in agreement with the catalytic bromination mechanism given by Olah. The isomerization and formation of the meta-bromotolouene involve an intramolecular 1,2-shift.
