Bromohydrination of cinnamic acid (CA) and substituted CAs by N-bromoacetamide (NBA) has been studied in aqueous methanol medium, in the presence of mercuric acetate and acetamide (AA).The influence of substituents on the decomposition rate constant (k) of the adduct has been investigated.The thermodynamic parameters for the hydrolysis of NBA and adduct formation steps have been evaluated.The activation parameters for the first order decomposition of the adduct have also been calculated.The corresponding bromohydrins have been identified as the reaction products.
