“…The work of Kharasch (185,187,188,189,190) on organomercury compounds is particularly well known. Other investigations have involved organotin (19,29) or organolead (9, 11, 12, 132, 135, 182) compounds, and sometimes different cleaving reagents (8,141,175,182,218,219,221,222,223,224). Some of the results obtained with lead compounds are discussed here.…”
