The ammonium-directed olefinic epoxidations of a range of differentially N-substituted cyclic allylic and homoallylic amines (derived from cyclopentene, cyclohexene, and cycloheptene) have been investigated, and the reaction kinetics have been analyzed. The results of these studies suggest that both the ring size and the identity of the substituents on nitrogen are important in determining both the overall rate and the stereochemical outcome of the epoxidation reaction. In general, secondary amines or tertiary amines with nonsterically demanding substituents on nitrogen are superior to tertiary amines with sterically demanding substituents on nitrogen in their ability to promote the oxidation reaction. Furthermore, in all cases examined, the ability of the (in situ formed) ammonium substituent to direct the stereochemical course of the epoxidation reaction is either comparable or superior to that of the analogous hydroxyl substituent. Much slower rates of ring-opening of the intermediate epoxides are observed in cyclopentene-derived and cycloheptene-derived allylic amines as compared with their cyclohexene-derived allylic and homoallylic amine counterparts, allowing for isolation of these intermediates in both of the former cases.

Reactions of tricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]heptane (1) with dihalocarbenes and bromine are reported. A new side bond opening mechanism for reactions of carbenes and bicyclo[1.1.0]butanes is proposed.

For cyclohex-2-enylmethyl and 4-alkoxycyclohex-2-enylmethyl radicals the quasi-axial and the quasi-equatorial conformers can both be observed by e.s.r. spectroscopy.Similary, the axial and equatorial conformers of cyclohex-3-enylmethyl radical can be distinguished by e.s.r. spectroscopy.The conformational free-energy difference of the CH2. group in the 2-position, -ΔGdeg300, was found to be 0.17 +/- 0.03 kcal mol-1 and in the 3-position -ΔGdeg300=0.0 +/- 0.1 kcal mol-1.The Arrhenius parameters for inversion of the half-chair conformation of cyclohex-2-enylmethyl radical were determined by lineshape analysis of the exchange-broadened spectra and found to be: log(kf/s-1)=12.3 - (5.7 kcal mol-1)/2.3RT and log(kb/s-1)=12.0 - (5.5 kcal mol-1)/2.3RT.The barrier to rotation about the C.α-Cβ bond in a cyclohexenylmethyl radicals is much less than the barrier in a cyclohexylmethyl radical because the former radical has only one syn-axial hydrogen on C(5) to impede the rotation whereas the latter radical has two syn-axial hydrogens on C(3) and C(5).
