| Abstract: | The stercochemistry of the perester-copper salt reaction has been investigated with the cyclic olefins trans-p-menth-2-ene, cis-p-menth-2-ene, 3-methylcyclohexene and 4-methylcyclohexene. The results suggest that the ability of copper to co-ordinate with the double bond directly influences the stereospecificity of the reaction and also the selectivity of the t-butoxy radicals. A stereoelectronic requirement in allyrlic hydrogen atom abstraction has been demonstrated by a kinetic and. product study of the perester-copper reaction with trans and cis-p-menth-2-ene. The result are discussed in terms of product and kinetic studies with reference to a new mechanistic scheme which is tentatively proposed. |
