Abstract

norcamphor favored concerted transfer of the syn C (7) hydrogen to the carbonyl carbon as a-cleavage occurred, and that this process was faster than the common biradical disproportionation pathway.* This suggestion would be difficult to reconcile with our present findings, which would require that remote alkyl substitution on the rigid norbornane skeleton strongly influence the rate of the proposed concerted transfer of hydrogen. While further ...
