摘要

Abstract: Investigation of the rates of cyclization of a series of substituted 2-furfuryl methyl fumarates la-h has allowed us to determine which of the two explanations for the gem-dialkyl effect is more important. Studies with compounds substituted with small-membered rings showed that the rate acceleration is due primarily to the reactive rotamer effect and not to angle compression (" Thorpe-Ingold effect"). For example, the cyclobutyl-substituted ...
