| Abstract: | The position of deuterium in the products of the addition of HCL and DCI to exo 5, 6-d2 norbornene has been determined mass spectrometrically by measuring metastable ion abundances. The results show a stereo-selective hydrogen atom abstraction when the molecular ion of exo-2-norbornyl chloride fragements by loss of a chloroethyl radical. |
