Sažetak

Rates of the reversible hydration of 1-methylcycloheptene (ENDO) to 1- methylcycloheptanol (ROH) and the essentially irreversible hydration of ethylenecycloheptane (EXO) to ROH, plus the position of equilibrium between ENDO and ROH, were determined in concentrated aqueous perchloric acid solution at 25 °C. The results, together with a literature value of the ENDO : EXO equilibrium ratio, allow dissection of the experimental data into hydronium-ion catalytic coefficients for the following individual processes: ENDO-> ROH, *H+ = 102 x 10~3 NT1 s"1; EXO-ROH, *„ + = 3.53 x 1CT3 NT1 s_1; ROH-ENDO, *H+ = 2.17 x lCT5 M'1 s'1, and ROH-EXO, *H+ = 1.01 x 10~6 M-1 s"1. Combination of these results with a previous estimate of the barrier to reaction of tertiary carbocations with water leads to a complete free energy profile for this system.
