solvolyzes 2 × 105 times faster than rigid 2-methylene-1-adamantyl mesylate. Placement of a cyano substituent on the (E) position of the vinylic carbon of these systems hardly alter the rate ratio (6 × 105). The result suggests fortuitous cancellation of the inductive destabilizing effect of the cyano substituent by its mesomeric stabilizing effect toward the partially conjugated allylic cation.

金刚烷基酯快2×10 5倍。在这些体系的
乙烯基碳的(E)位置上放置
氰基取代基几乎不会改变速率比(6×10 5)。该结果表明,通过
氰基取代基对部分共轭的烯丙基阳离子的介观稳定作用,偶然消除了
氰基取代基的感应去稳定作用。作为模型的简单烯丙基阳离子的PM3计算支持了实验结果。
