A comparison of the rates of SN1 solvolysis of the bicyclic compounds (1) and (2) in
Chapter 9, Problem 9.36(choose chapter or problem)
A comparison of the rates of SN1 solvolysis of the bicyclic compounds (1) and (2) in aceticacid shows that compound (1) reacts 1011 times faster than compound (2). Furthermore,solvolysis of (1) occurs with complete retention of configuration: the nucleophile occu-pies the same position on the one-carbon bridge as did the leaving 2OSO2Ar group. (a) Draw structural formulas for the products of solvolysis of each compound.(b) Account for the difference in rate of solvolysis of (1) and (2).(c) Account for complete retention of configuration in the solvolysis of (1).
