CYCLOADDITIONS OF HEXACHLOROCYCLOPENTADIENE TO 7-SUBSTITUTED NORBORNADIENES: REMOTE SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS ON REACTIVITY AND STEREOSELECTIVITY
The rates and stereoselectivities of the cycloadditions of hexachlorocyclopentadiene to norbornadienes substituted at the 7-position by tert-butyl, trimethylsilyl, methoxy, acetoxy, hydroxy, methoxymethyl, and methoxycarbonyl groups have been measured.The rates correlate with substituent electronegativities.
