Abstract

1H NMR study has shown that long-lived 9-R-9,10-dimethylphenanthren-9-yl cations (R = isopropenyl, trans-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl) generated in the system HSO3F-SO2ClF-CD2Cl2 at −130°C undergo degenerate rearrangement via 1,2-vinyl shifts (ΔG’ = 37 and 39 kJ/mol, respectively, at −88°C). Analysis of the geometric parameters of the initial structures and transition states calculated by the DFT method indicates that unfavorable steric factors are responsible for the sharp deceleration of 1,2-shifts of the isopropenyl and trans-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl groups as compared to vinyl and cis-1-methylprop-1-en-1-yl groups, respectively.
