Methyl exo-2-bromo-1-norobornanecarboxylate-endo,endo-5,6-d2 (1b) has been prepared and solvolyzed at 112° in 80:20 EtOH-H2O buffered with NaOAc. The loss of 85–90% of the deuterium available on the front face of 1b in the formation of the tricyclic ester 6D coupled with a novel analysis established that the endo:exo preference for 1,3 elimination is at least 15:1 to 20:1. A comparison of the solvolytic kinetic isotope effect (1.18 ± 0.04) for 1b and the 1,3-elimination kinetic isotope effect (1.45–1.6) with data for 1,2 eliminations indicates that elimination occurs from the classical, perhaps 1,3 hyperconjugatively stabilized carbocation 20. The endo:exo preference established in this study is used to reinterpret 1,3-elimination data determined by Collins in the solvolysis of deuteriohydroxyphenyl norbornyl tosylates.

The mechanism of base-catalysed anomerization of per-O-acetylated 2,4-dinitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside in dimethylsulfoxide has been investigated using a variety of techniques. A mechanism involving proton abstraction at C-1 was eliminated by the absence of proton exchange at that center and the measurement of a secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effect for the 1-deuterio substrate. A mechanism involving phenolate departure and recombination is rendered unlikely on the basis of remote substituent effects on the reaction rate and by the absence of any exchange of the phenyl moiety with added phenolate. A mechanism involving nucleophilic aromatic substitution initiated by an attack of the dimethylsulfinyl anion to generate a glucosyl oxyanion intermediate that anomerizes and recombines with the reactive aryl intermediate is consistent with the observations. This mechanism is further supported by the observation of a purple Meisenheimer complex intermediate and by the observed exchange between the substrate containing a labelled sugar moiety and added unlabelled 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranose. Keywords: glycoside, anomerization, reaction mechanism.
