| Abstract: | The crystal structures of cis‐3‐iodoacrylic acid (1), trans‐3‐iodoacrylic acid (2), trans‐3‐iodoacrylic acid methyl ester (3), 3,3‐diiodopropanoic acid (4), and trans‐2,3‐diiodoacrylic acid (5) are reported. Compounds 1 and 2 are the kinetic and thermodynamic products, respectively, of the hydroiodination of propiolic acid. Compound 4 results from addition of a second equivalent of hydroiodic acid to 1 or 2, whereas 5 results from the addition of trace elemental iodine to propiolic acid. |
