✦ Synopsis


The large increase in the ratio ( 3 ) / ( 4 ) in the series of cycloolefin derivatives (f)-(h) supports the cyclic transition state ( 5 ) . This and the strong influence of the methyl group in (b) provide evidence for the C-2 atom being situated about two bond lengths distant from the asymmetric C atom in R; such is the case only in (5).
