III. Non-classical Carbocations 非经典碳正离子
Non-classical ions are a special type of carbonium ions displaying
delocalization of sigma bonds in 3-center-2-electron bonds of bridged
systems.

A key observation is that in this nucleophilic displacement both
isomers give the same reaction product an exo-acetate 2. Also the
reaction rate for the exo-reaction is 350 times the reaction rate for
the endo reaction.
In a related experiment both enantiomers 1 and 2 of the exo-brosylate
on solvolysis give the same racemic reaction product. The optical
activity of the reaction disappears at the same reaction rate as that of
the solvolysis.

In a non-classical carbocations, the positive
charge is delocalized by a double or triple bond
that is not in the allylic position or by a single bond.

IV. Neighbouringgroupparticipation(NGP)
Neighbouring group participation or NGP has been defined by
IUPAC as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of
electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a  bond or  bond.
When NGP is in operation it is normal for the reaction rate to be
increased. It is also possible for the stereochemistry of the reaction
to be abnormal (or unexpected) when compared with a normal
reaction.
A. NGP by heteroatom lone pairs
The rate of reaction is much higher for the sulfur mustard and a
nucleophile than it would be for a primary alkyl chloride without a
heteroatom.

C. NGP by an aromatic ring
An aromatic ring can assist in the formation of a carbocationic
intermediate called a phenonium ion by delocalising the positive
charge.

then rather than a simple
SN2 reaction forming B,a
48:48:4 mixture of A, B and
(C+D) was obtained.
QUESION: please give a mechanism which forms A and B.
D. Cyclopropyl as a neighboring group
Where cyclopropyl lends considerable
anchimeric assistance, the developing p orbital
of the carbocation is orthogonal to the
participating bond of the cyclopropane ring.

Mechanism
 Mechanism of the pinacol rearrangement of a
symmetrical glycol
1. Protonation of
a hydroxyl group
2. Loss of water
Resonance-stablized carbocation
3. Methyl migration
4. Deprotonation
Facts
 1, 2 shift takes place in
carbonium ion which is
already a tertiary carbonium
ion
 It is probably due to
stabilization of rearranged ion
that can be affected by
delocalization involving the
electron pair on the oxygen
atom, and ready loss of proton

Facts
 It seems that migration of alkyl group is
extremely fast on the loss of leaving group,
taking place simultaneously
 That migrating group is from the opposite
side of the leaving group
– Because rearrangement is much more easy in
compounds having trans configuration than that
having cis configuration

It is found that o-MeOPh migrate
more than a 1000 time less readily

less than phenyl. This is due to
interference in the transition state
