Hydration rates of quadricyclane were measured over a pH range of 3 to 8 in phosphate buffer, carbonate buffer, and nitric acid solutions. Norbornadiene was a minor impurity in the quadricyclane, and its hydration rate was also measured. Hydration products were exo-5-norbornen-2-ol (bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-ol) and nortricyclyl alcohol (tricyclo[2.2.1.03,5]heptane-2-ol). Diol formation was not detected. Quadricyclane hydration in solutions containing chloride ions formed the alcohols and their chlorinated analogs. A mechanism consistent with observed kinetics and reaction products involving two carbocation intermediates is proposed. Comparison of reaction rates was used to determine the role of buffer catalysis and chlorination reactions in natural waters. Phosphate buffer catalysis was shown to be important, and rate constants for all phosphate species were calculated. Comparison hydration rates in nitric acid and carbonate buffer indicated that catalysis by carbonate species for this reaction is unimportant in surface waters. Catalytic effects of other buffers in some natural waters appear possible. Proper buffer selection is important if laboratory-measured hydration rates of quadricyclane are to be applied to natural water systems.

Photolysis of 5-norbornen-2-one tosylhydrazone (4) in aqueous sodium hydroxide afforded 4percent of 3-norpinen-2-ol (3) in addition to 5-norbornen-2-ol (5, 10percent) and nortricyclanol (6, 86percent). 3 arises from 5-norbornene-2endo-diazonium ions (2) as shown by the nitrous acid deamination of the epimeric amines 1 and 7. 3-Norpinen-2-one (12) was isolated by oxidation of the deamination products followed by preparative g.l.c. 3 and 12 were synthesized independently from norpinan-2-one (9) via sulfenylation and sulfoxide pyrolysis.The norbornene -> norpinene rearrangement is slightly enhanced by 1-OCH3.The deamination of 1-methoxy-5-norbornen-2endo-amine (14) produced 10percent of 12, as compared to 5.6percent of 3 from 1.
