Abstract

Z- and E-2-carbomethoxy-3-(methylenedimethylsulfonio)-bicyclo- [2.2.2]octane p-toluenesulfonate (8z and 8e, respectively) were synthesized and saponified at constant pH to study the effect of the neighboring sulfonium group on the rate of reaction. Rates and activation parameters are very similar for both isomers, lending support to the theoretical prediction that charge-dipole and charge-charge separation in both isomers is not significantly different, and that the carbonyl-dipole vector is nearly normal to a line connecting it with the sulfonium sulfur atom.
