Abstract

A comparison of the solvolysis rates of the substituted 2‐exo‐ and 2‐endo ‐norbornyl p‐toluenesulfonates 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the substituted 1‐ and 2‐adamantyl sulfonates 9 and 10, respectively, in 80% ethanol and 97% trifluoroethanol has shown that the sensitivity of rates to the I‐effect of substituents, i.e. the inductivity of these compounds, varies strongly with structure, configuration and solvent. In 97% trifluoro‐ethanol, a solvent of low nucleophilicity and high ionizing power, the inductivities of the 2‐endo‐norbornyl p‐toluenesulfonates 2 and 4 as well as the inductivities of the adamantyl derivatives 9 and 10 were larger than in 80% ethanol. In contrast, the inductivity of the 2‐exo‐norbornyl p‐toluenesulfonates 1 was practically unchanged. It was, therefore, concluded that the transition states for the former compounds are not, or only weakly, bridged, whereas the transition states for the 2‐exo‐norbornyl p‐tolu‐enesulfonates 1 involve graded bridging by C (6). These results confirm that, due to differential bridging strain, 2‐norbornyl cations are anisotropic to polar effects.
