The action of bromine on the hydroxymercuration product of norbornene in chloroform results in the cleavage of the carbon‐mercury bond to give a mixture of 2‐ exo ‐bromo‐3‐ exo ‐hydroxynorbornane and its endo ‐bromo isomer. If the reaction medium is pyridine, the formation of 2,3‐ exo ‐epoxynorbornane is observed in addition to the bromohydrins.
