Alkene Bromination Flashcards
What is the structure of trans-cinnamic acid?
Trans double bond connected on one side to a benzene, and on the other side to a carbon that is double bonded to an oxygen and single bonded to an OH
What is the structure of trans-stilbene?
Double bond trans connected to two benzene rings
What is the structure of cis-stilbene?
Double bond cis connected to two benzene rings
What is the structure of bromine?
Br2
What is the structure of pyridinium tribromide?
Benzene ring with a NH+ replacing one of the carbons, alongside a Br3- ion
