SUMMARY
The addition of bromine to trans-cinnamic acid is determined by the form of bromine used. When diatomic bromine (Br2) is added, the mechanism of the reaction dictates whether the addition is syn or anti. The specific mechanism can be found in standard organic chemistry texts, providing clarity on the stereochemistry involved in this reaction.
