Abstract
  • The tosylhydrazones of exo-3-deuteriocamphor and 2- deuterio-2,4-dimethy1-3-pentanone were treated with Nbromosuccinimide (NBS) and pyruvic acid to regenerate the parent ketones. The ketones from the pyruvic acid cleavage show a significant loss of deuterium. The ketones from the NBS cleavage show no loss of deuterium, indicating that stereochemical integrity at. C[subscript α] is maintained during the NBS cleavage. The tosylhydrazones and corresponding lithium salts of exo and endo-3-deuterio-6,6-dimethylnorbornan-2-one are found to maintain their stereochemical integrity at C[subscript α]. Thermal and photolytic decomposition of the lithium salts reveals a 3,2 hydride migration preference of 19:1 in favor of the exo hydrogen. Torsional interactions in the hydride migration transition state of a classical singlet carbene are suggested as an explanation for the observed stereoselectivity.
