An extensive study of bromination of cis,trans,trans-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene: product structures and conformations

Abstract
Bromine has been added to cis,trans,trans-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene under various reaction conditions. All expected direct addition products have been isolated, and their structures have been determined by microanalysis, NMR and X-ray crystallography. Advanced NMR techniques were used to determine solution conformations of several of the compounds, enabling comparison with the solid-state conformations obtained by crystallography.
