Abstract

Abstract: d, l-and meso-2, 2'-bis [l-methylene-l, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydronaphthalenes] 8 and 9 were synthesized, and the activation energy parameters for their unimolecular [3, 3] sigmatropic rearrangement to 1, 2-bis (3, 4-dihydro-l-naphthalenyl) ethane (13) were determined. The d, l diastereomer is constrained to undergo Cope rearrangement in the chair conformation while the meso diastereomer is constrained to the boat. At 150 OC kd,,/k,,= 7 X IO6. A ...
