Conclusions
-
1.
The competing bromination of a number of hydrocarbons using N-bromosuceinimide at high pressures made it possible to establish that in reactions of the type Br + RH → Br ... H ... R → BrH + R the rule is retained, according to which the reactions that proceed most easily are accelerated most strongly by pressure.
-
2.
The obtained rule is explained if we start with the concept of a variable elongation of the bonds in the formation of the transition state.
