โฆ Synopsis
Numerous studies have shown the P-norbornyl cation to exhibit a remarkable degree of exo-stereospecificity upon nucleophilic substitution. 1 2-4 Some recent work, however, has shown this stereospecificity to be lost upon incorporation of an electron withdrawing substituent located either 01 or S to the developing cationic center. We wish to report a similar observation in the solvolysis study of 5-keto-exo-and endo-2-norbornyl brosylates* (I and II, respectively), a system in which a deactivating carbonyl group is situated three carbons distant from the site of ionization.

The solvolysis of 2-norbornyl derivatives continues to command considerable interest, largely because of the controversy as to whether the 2-norbornyl cation is best formulated as a bridqed,
a, B and Y deuteriw isotope effects have been used extensively to probe the nature of the norbornyl cation3(a)-3(i) generated solvolytically. Of special interest has been the work of Uurr et al. 3(c) and Bo&ii( et a1.3(d) which showed that the isotope
