Reaction of chloroethylenes with cyclic dienes, and the structure of the adducts formed

1. Some new adducts of anthracene and of cyclopentadiene with various chloroethylenes were synthesized. 2. The dipole moments of the adducts synthesized and of some previously described adducts were measured, and the structures of the adducts were determined. 3. Conclusions were reached concerning the factors determining the structure of diene-synthesis adducts. © 1965 Consultants Bureau Enterprises, Inc
