The solvolysis rates and products of several 1-substituted 2-exo- and 2-endo-norbornyl p-toluenesulfonates 7 and 8, respectively, have been determined.Hydrolyses of these epimeric tosylates yielded rearranged products in varying amounts, except when the substituent was COOCH3 or CN.The logarithms of the rate constants (log k) for the endo-series 8 correlated linearly with the corresponding inductive constants ?q1 with a reaction constant ρ1 of -1.24.On the other hand, log k values for the exo-series 7 appear to fit two regression lines,the first line (ρ1 = -1.90) defined by the tosylates that ionize, with rearrangement, to the tertiary cations 11, the second (ρ1 = -1.86) by the tosylates 7(R = H, COOCH3, and CN) that ionize to an asymetrically bridged secondary cation 19.These results confirm the unique participation of C(6) with a ρ1 of -2.00 in the ionization of 2-exo-norbornyl tosylate.

The trimethylsiloxy-substituted dienophiles 1-benzoyl-1-(trimethylsiloxy)ethylene, 6, 1-carbomethoxy-1-(trimethylsiloxy)ethylene, 12, and 1-acetyl-1-(trimethylsiloxy)ethylene, 4, all reacted with cyclopentadiene to give adducts in which the carbonyl containing substituent of the major product occupied the exo position, in violation of the Alder rule.Desilylation of the Diels-Alder adducts of cyclopentadiene with 4 and 6 led to ring-expanded ketol rearrangement products on silica gel chromatography.This facile rearrangement was attributed to relief of strain in the star ting α-hydroxy ketone.Equilibration studies showed that in the rearranged 2-hydroxy-2-substituted bicyclooctan-3-one systems 24 and 30, the more stable isomer is the one in which the phenyl or methyl substituent is in the axial position.The presence of a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of the equatorial hydroxyl group with the carbonyl group accounts for the greater stability of 24 and 30.Acetolysis of endo-2-benzoyl-exo-2-norbornyl mesylate, 2, occurred readily, giving mainly the rearranged product of internal return, 1-benzoyl-exo-norbornyl mesylate, 38.The high reactivity of 2 relative to the endo analogue and the α-H analogue was attributed to some transition-state carbonyl conjugation with the incipient α-keto cation center as well as possible neighboring ?-participation and/or steric rate enhancement.
