Abstract

Hydrogen bromide is shown to have a pronounced effect on atomic brominations in the gas phase; this is due to two effects, (i) a possible reversible reaction of alkyl radicals with hydrogen bromide, and (ii) the direct reaction between hydrogen bromide and alkyl bromides leading to olefins.
