The mechanism of the dehydrogenation of acenaphthene by quiñones has been investigated. De-hydrogenation of cz's-l, 2-dideuterioacenaphthene utilizing 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyanobenzoquinone proceeded with 77.7% cis elimination and employing tetrachloro-o-benzoquinonewith 62.9% cis elimination. These data re-quire modification of the existing mechanism of dehydrogenation. The large isotope effect, the lack of 1, 2 shifts, and the stereochemistry of elimination support the intermediacy of classical carbonium ions. Initial ion-pair formation and partial collapse of the ion pair to product before dissociation accounts for the observed net cis elimination. The amount of net cis elimination decreases as solvent polarity increases, an observation in support of the ion-pair hypothesis.
