A study was made to redetermine the primary isotope rate constant ratios (k/sub h/ / k/sub d/) for the 2-norbornyl-h/sub 10/d/sub 1/ cation. Recent results suggested that this reanalysis was in order. It was found that the 6,2(1)-hydride-(deuteride) shift in the 2-norbornyl cation is highly stereospecific and that the 2-norbornyl cation is either symmetrical or a pair of nearly symmetrical cations separated by a very low potential barrier.
