Abstract

Introduction The striking facility with which cyclopropylcarbinyl, cyclobutyl and allylcarbinyl derivatives become interconverted in carbonium ion reactions, combined with the high solvolytic reactivity of cyclopropylcarbinyl and cyclobutyl derivatives, has aroused considerable interest as to the precise nature (s) of the intermediates involved. On the basis of the experimental evidence so far available3-9 we have proposed6-8 that unsymmetrical ...
