Abstract

Abstract: Electronegative substitution at C-3 of cyclohexanone and methylenecyclohexane is found to increase the relative proportion of axial attack in a number of reactions widely differing from the points of view of the transition-state polarization, geometry, and electron deficiency. Reactions examined included alkyllithium additions, oxymercurations, osmylations, and peracid epoxidations. Plots of log k,,/k, vs uI (1.2 values of 0.952, 0.940, ...
