The unimolecular, gas-phase reaction kinetics of the silaallylic rearrangement, the complete absence of/3-substituent rate effects, the lack of influence on the activation parameters in substituting phenyl for methyl at the silicon reaction center, and the failure to realize a bimolecular isomerization mode all point to a concerted, sym-metrical transition state of silicon migration. The only substituent rate effects observed are readily correlated with steric strainrelief (in the a position of the allyl side chain) and conjugation influences which reflect in the transition state the energy differences between products and reactants. These results stand in sharp contrast to those noted in the thiaallylic rearrangement where d orbital involvement in the formation of a dipolar reaction intermediate has been implicated. Stereochemicalstudies using optically active as well as deuterium labeling of the course of rearrangement show that every act of migration is accompanied by inversion of the siliconconfiguration. This indicates a preference for utilizing a 3p orbital in bridging the allylic structure with conservation of orbital symmetry. It is the first case of 1, 3 or 1, 5 migration of silicon in which thepreference for 3p orbital utilization has been identi-fied. The correspondingsilapropynylic rearrangement involving silicon migration across the termini for a propargyl-allenyl grouping has also been realized (for the first time) in these investigations. The kinetic characteristics of this reaction indicate a symmetrical, concerted transition state, similar in all respects tothe silaallylic rearrangement despite the need for bending of the propargyl-allenyl framework in the activation step. Moreover, stereochemical studies confirm that the process of migration again takes place with complete inversion of the silicon con-figuration, apparently uncontaminated byany competing pathways which might lead to retention and racemiza-tion. A carboallylic migration in simple olefinic analogs of silaallylic substrates does not take place with sufficient mobility to compete with homolytic fragmentation reactions. The vastly greater activation barrier of the carboallylic vs. the silaallylic perhaps may be correlated with the dissociation energy of the critical bond of the sigmatropic process.
