21. Two regioisomers are likely from the dibromination, those placed antipodally that is, 2, 6-positions and the 2, 7-dibromo NDA regioisomer. In our work, as with others, we only see evidence for the 2, 6-dibromo isomer by NMR spectroscopy. If the other isomer forms in >5% yield, it is indistinguishable by both chromatographic and NMR spectroscopic techniques. The result can be explained in terms of buttressing restraints, but we cannot discount the formation of the other regioisomer conclusively.
22. 4) makes it difficult to characterize the product by traditional means. However, mass spectrometry gave data consistent with 5, in particular the diagnostic isotopic pattern expected for addition of four bromine atoms to the starting anhydride.
