Chapter 6, Problem 47P

1-Bromo[2.2.1] bicycloheptane is unreactive toward both S N 2 and reactions. Open the computer molecular model at the book’s website titled “1-Bromo[2.2.1] bicycloheptane” and examine the structure. What barriers are there to substitution of 1-bromo[2.2.1] bicycloheptane by both S N 2 and S N 1 reaction mechanisms?

Both bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane are saturated hydrocarbons composed of only 2° and 3° carbons. Recall that radical substitution generally takes place preferentially at a 3° carbon. Indeed, when bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is treated with bromotrichloromethane under irradiation, substitution takes place 100% at the 3° carbon. Under the same conditions, however, no substitution is observed at the 3° carbon in bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane. Explain. Hint: Build molecular models of each of these compounds.
