摘要
(-)-(1R,2R,3S)-1-Ethyl-2-methyl-1,2,3-trideuteriocyclopropane and (-)-(1S,2R,3R)-1-ethyl-2-methyl-1,2,3-trideuteriocyclopropane were synthesized and heated at 380-degrees-C in the gas phase; the thermal stereomutations shown by these substrates were followed as a function of time by gas chromatography, H-1 NMR spectroscopy, and polarimetry. From the rate constants measured it was found that one-center epimerizations at C(3) are kinetically competitive and inferred that, for the trans (1R,2R,3S) substrate, (k1 + k2):k12 almost-equal-to 2:1. For the thermal stereomutations interconverting the eight isomeric 1-ethyl-2-methyl-1,2,3-trideuteriocyclopropanes, the most substituted bond hypothesis is not valid and two-center epimerizations corresponding to concerted electrocyclic processes are not kinetically dominant.
