(Chemical Equation Presented) Experimental gas-phase acidities are reported for a series of 3-substituted (X) bicyclo [1.1.1]pent-1-yl carboxylic acids (1, Y = COOH). A comparison with available calculated data (MP2/6-311++G* *// B3LYP/6-311+G**) reveals

The pKa's of eight 3-substituted bicyclopentanecarboxylic acids have been measured and found to correlate well with ?I constants.The value of ρI (2.23 +/- 0.12) is large but not large enough to propose any special perturbation of normal field-inductive effects by the close proximity (about 1.88 Ae) of the bridgehead carbons.Also determined were the products and rates of solvolyses of the p-nitrobenzoates of three 3-substituted 1-pentanes.The products were primarily unrearranged, and the rates again showed no surprisingsubstituent effects.A practical synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted bicyclopentanes has been developed and is described.
