Abstract
Electrostatic interactions account for the stereochemical variations in electrophilic additions to 7-isopropylidenebenzonorbornenes. Different electrophilic reagents have very different electrostatic profiles. This conclusion is supported by electrostatic potential analyses of 7-methylenenorbornene and 7-methylenebenzonorbornene or by calculations on the interactions of point charges with the two faces of the π system.
