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. S. Winstein (1949): Acylation (solvoysis) of norbornyl brosylate endo- exo- 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.

IV. Neighbouring group participation (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.
B. NGP by an alkene (C=C as a neighboring group) H Ts O H T s O The rate of acetolysis 1 1 O Configuration retention retention Ts = H 3 C S O
Even if the double bond is more remote from the reacting center the alkene can still act in this way. H OB s H OB s O S O O Br BsO : -(syn-7-no r bo r nenyl) ethyl brosylate (A): Relative rate of acetolysis (A) 140,000 (B ) 1
DISCUSSION Evidence for the non-classical cations. A neighboring group lends anchimeric assistance only when there is sufficient demand for it. The ability of C=C to serve as a neighboring group can depend on its electron density.

F a cts 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 from the oxygen to produce a stable end product
