Diels-Alder reaction between furan and α-chloroacrylonitrile gives a mixture of exo-2-chloro-and endo-2-chloro-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2-carbonitrile (4) and (5). Mild hydrolysis affords the corresponding α-chloro acid mixture, from which the endo carboxylic acid may be removed through iodo lactone formation. Catalytic hydrogenation of (4) and (5) followed by hydrolysis, acyl azide formation, Curtius rearrangement, and hydrolysis of the resulting mixture of a-chloro isocyanates yields 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.l]heptan-2-one (1) in preparatively useful amounts. Reduction of (1) gives only endo alcohol, and Baeyer-Villiger reaction proceeds with exclusive bridgehead atom migration. Thermal decomposition of the sodium salt of the p-toluenesulfonylhydrazone of (1) affords 7-oxatricyclo[2.2.1 .02,6]heptane.

The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the nine-membered ring cyclic vinyl ether, oxacyclonon-2,8-diene, occurs with a normal isotope effect, [Formula: see text], which indicates that this reaction proceeds by the conventional vinyl ether hydrolysis mechanism involving rate-determining proton transfer to carbon. The specific rate of this reaction, [Formula: see text], may then be used to show that there is no significant ring-size effect on the rate of hydrolysis of a vinyl ether group in a nine-membered ring. The previously noted unusually great reactivity of the vinyl ether group in 9-methoxyoxacyclonon-2-ene, for which an unorthodox reaction mechanism has been claimed, must therefore be due to some other cause.

The hydrolysis of 2-methoxy-2,3-dihydropyran shows a normal isotope effect (kH/kD > 1) under catalysis by the hydrogen ion and gives an accurately linear dependence of reaction rate upon undissociated acid concentration in cyanoacetic acid and formic acid buffer solutions. This substrate, therefore, unlike its higher homolog, 9-methoxyoxacyclonon-2-ene, provides no evidence in support of an anything but a normal mechanism for vinyl ether hydrolysis. Analysis of the hydrogen isotope effect suggests that a minor amount (8%) of this hydrolysis occurs via reaction of the acetal functional group.

Rates of hydrolysis of 1-ethoxy-3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclopentene and 1-methoxy-2,3,3,5,5-pentamethylcyclopentene measured in mineral acid and formic and acetic acid buffer solutions show general acid catalysis and give large kinetic isotope effects in the normal direction (kH/kD > 1). This indicates that these reactions proceed by the conventional mechanism for vinyl ether hydrolysis in which proton transfer from the catalyzing acid to the substrate is rate-determining, and that the I-strain in these substrates is insufficiently great to shift the reaction mechanism to rapidly reversible substrate protonation followed by rate-determining hydration of the ensuing cationic intermediate.
