All 10 tertiary dimethyl-2-norbornyl cations have been prepared. There are sequences of individual steps which will in theory interconvert any given two of these cations, a total of 45 permutations. All of the possible sequences (within a defined limit on the allowable total number of steps) for performing these interconversions were determined using a digital computer. Each step used in the computer generated sequence had previously been assigned a trial activation free energy value and a comparison is made in this paper between the actual experimental rearrangement results (in terms of both the kinetics of disappearance for the cation and what product is in fact formed) and the predicted results.
Observable 2-norbornyl cations undergo at least five different rearrangement reactions, all of which are known from previous work on this system. In this paper, these rearrangement categories have been subdivided to reflect secondary–tertiary energy and rate differences and a trial set of activation free energies ΔG≠ is derived for each subdivided step. The most important of these parameters is the energy difference between secondary and tertiary (methyl) systems which was estimated as 5.5 kcal/mol. These parameters allow one, for the first time, to make a rational assessment of the overall reaction course of multistep rearrangement reactions in this system, for example, those observed in a number of bicyclo[2.2.1]heptyl(norbornyl) terpene systems.
