Polar versus steric effects in the solvolysis of 6endo‐substituted 2endo‐norbornyl p‐toluenesulfonates. Norbornanes, Part 8

Abstract: The solvolysis rates and products of the 6endo‐R‐substituted 2endo‐norbornyl toluenesulfonates 6a–6i have been determined. The rates of 6a–6g correlate with the inductive constants σ Iq the 6endo‐substituents and are not related to the size of the latter. It is therefore concluded that polar rather than steric effects control the exo/endo‐rate ratios of norbornyl sulfonates. Products are derived mainly from rearranged 6exo‐R‐norbornyl cations when the substituent is an electron donor and from unrearranged 6end… Show more

“…This follows from the observed changes of the rate constants as well as the 2-exo/2-endo rate ratios and the products with the substituent R. In conjunction with other evidence [3] these results eliminated steric hindrance to endo-ionization as an explanation for high 2-exo/2-endo rate ratios [4]. Furthermore, hydrolysis of 1 and 2 yielded 2-exo-norbornanols only when R was a donor substituent, a sign that nucleophilic solvents attack the cation 3 from the unbridged exo-side only.…”
