Abstract
The buffered trifluoroethanolyses and acetolyses of exo‐(2‐D)‐ (6) and endo‐(2‐D)‐5‐norbornen‐2‐yl brosylates (7) yielded exo‐5‐norbornen‐2‐yl and 3‐nortricyclyl derivatives. The deuterium distribution in these products was determined unambiguously by ^2^H‐NMR. and MS. In contrast to previous reports, each hydrogen and, consequently, each deuterium atom could be identified. Product ratio and label distribution in the solvolysis of 6 make unnecessary the intervention of asymmetrical homoallylic cation intermediates. The results are most economically rationalized by invoking symmetrical 3‐nortricyclyl ion‐pair intermediates.
