Abstract
The 13C NMR of hydroxy ketone I (R = Na) was temp. dependent, behavior assocd. with rapid degenerate rearrangement involving intramol. hydride transfer from alkoxide to CO. Dynamic 13C NMR measurements gave a barrier to rearrangement of 13.7 kcal/mol at 4°. A much slower competing process giving hemiacetal II was obsd., and the mechanism of its formation is discussed. The mol. structure of I (R = p-O2NC6H4), detd. by x-ray crystallog., shows some pyramidalization for the ketonic CO group. [on SciFinder(R)]
