Quantum calculations on the acid catalyzed rearrangements of norborn-5-en-2-one, 7-oxanorborn-5-en-2-one and 7-azanorborn-5-en-2-one - The electron-releasing effect of homoconjugated carbonyl group

Pierre Vogel

Protonation of norbom-5-en-2-one gives 6-oxo-2-norbomyl cation (2) as most stable C7H9O+ cation. Quantum calculations at B3LYP/6-31G(d) level (gas phase, 1 atm, 25 degrees C) predict a C-s-structure for 2 that can be represented as an intramolecular pi-com ...
