It has been established that an electron-deficient bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-substituted cyclopentadienyl (CpE) rhodium(III) complex catalyzes the oxidative intramolecular 1,1-oxyamination of alkenes with N-benzoyl amino acids to produce oxazoloisoindole-2,5-diones. Experimental and theoretical mechanistic studies revealed that this oxidative 1,1-oxyamination proceeds via not the aza-Wacker reaction but the formation of a rhoda(III)oxazolidine initiated by the carboxylic acid-directed N?H bond cleavage.
Electronic effects on the substitution reactions of benzhydrols and fluorenyl alcohols. Determination of mechanism and effects of antiaromaticity

A range of substituted benzhydrols and fluorenols were prepared and subjected to acid catalysed methanolysis. Analysis of the rates of each of these processes showed correlation with Hammett σ+ parameters as is consistent with the significant build-up of positive charge adjacent to the ring. In combination with the similarity of the electronic susceptibility of the processes, these data suggest that both reactions proceed through a unimolecular rate-determining step. This shows that the effect of fusion of the phenyl systems (and hence potentially introducing an antiaromatic carbocation intermediate) is only to slow the rate of reaction rather than change the mechanism of the process.
