Halogenation of N-substituted p-quinone imines and p-quinone oxime esters: IV. Chlorination and bromination of N-arylsulfonyl-2(3)-methyl(2-chloro)-1,4- benzoquinone monoimines
The addition of halogens to N-arylsulfonyl-1,4-benzoquinone imines, which exist in a solution as Z and E isomers, is controlled by the steric factor. Z-E Isomerization strongly affects the stability of cyclohexene structures formed by halogenation of 1,4-
