The direct observation of stable hydrido-bridged cycloalkyl cations, in rings containing 8-11 carbon atoms, corre-sponds exactly with those cycloalkyl rings where direct transannular hydrogen shifts have been observed in reactions involving a presumed carbocation intermediate. Within this observable ion series, there are interesting variations in both the ion reactivity and in the NMR properties. For rings of 8, 9, and 11 carbons, the corresponding 1-methyl 7-, 8-, and 10-carbon tertiary ion is formed, whereas the 10-membered hydrido-bridged ion eliminates hydrogen and forms the decalyl cation. The NMR results show that decreases in thechemical shiftof the two terminal hydrogens are matched by a corresponding increase in the chemical shifts of the bridging hydrogen. This behavior is consistent with theoretical models which crudely picture the bonding as a hydride ion centered between two cationic centers. The negative charge on the bridging hydrogen increases as the separation of the two bridged carbons is increased. Correspondingly, the terminal protonsexperience an increased positive charge.The classic studies by Prelog and Cope and their respec-tive co-workers1 beginning in 1952 have established that cy-cloalkyl rings from Cg to Cp undergo direct transannular hydride shifts in reactions involving a carbocation intermediate. This reactivity was not observed for Cp systems and only in a minor way for the Cj case. We have recently prepared the observable Cio cyclodecyl cation2· 3 and have suggested, based on the very unusual NMR spectrum, that this ion possesses a µ-hydrido-bridged structure 1.
