Rate constants and primary deuterium kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) have been determined for the base-catalysed 1,3-hydrotropic rearrangements of 1-methyl-5-nitroindene (12), 1-methyl-7-nitroindene (13), 5-methoxy-1-methylindene (14) and 5-fluoro-1-methylindene (15) in o-dichlorobenzene at 20 degrees C. The tertiary amine 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane( DABCO) was used as catalyst. The kinetics were followed by polarimetry using the isotopic quasi-racemate method. The rearrangement of 13 was also investigated by H-1 NMR kinetic experiments. The reaction rate correlates, as expected, with the electronic effect of the substituent ranging from a large increase for the 5-nitro substrate to a small decrease for the methoxy compound as compared with the unsubstituted 1-methylindene. The KIEs vary as predicted from the Melander-Westheimer postulate showing an increase with reaction rate from 5.57 to 8.56. The syntheses of the (+)-(S)-form of the 5- or 7-substituted indenes and the (-)-(R)-form of the deuteriated analogues are also reported.
