Abstract
It has been suggested on the basis of solvolysis rate and stereochemical considerations that the solvolysis of exo- and endo-norbornyl p-bromobenzenesulfonates in acetic acid proceeds by a bridged “non-classical" carbonium ion having a structure (I) like that proposed for the cationic intermediate involved in the rearrangement of camphene \nhydrochloride to isobornyl chloride.
