✦ Synopsis


In FSOsH/SO&lF at -50 to -100' the nonamethylbicyclo[3.2.1] octadien-2-yl cation 1 undergoes an nmr-observable reversible exchange process which equilibrates methyls 2,3,4,6 and 7 and methyls 8 and 9, but leaves the bridgehead methyls (1 and 5) unique.l CIRCUMAMBULATION 3 This observation was rationalized by a circumambulatory process (J, * 1' * l", etc.) which be accomplished mechanistically via a sequence such as 1' -.
