Relative Reactivities of Alkyl-Substituted Alkenes and Cycloalkenes towards Diarylcarbenium Ions

The relative reactivities of alkyl-substituted alkenes 4 towards diarylmethyl cations 2 generated in situ from diarylmethyl chlorides 1 and Lewis acids were determined by competition experiments.The relative reactivities were almost independent of the nature of the Lewis acid. Eventual differences of the solvation free enthalpies of various activated complexes are, therefore, independent of the nature of the gegen ions.The rate acceleration by methyl groups - 6-50 by CH3 at the attacked vinylic position and approximately 104 at the developing carbenium centre - indicates a scarcely bridged transition state.
