Collins, Clair

In a series of elegant experiments, Clair Collins (of Oak Ridge National Laboratory) has given us intimate details about the reaction the intermediacy of open carbonium ions, their approximate life-time, and the conformational factors that affect their chemistry. Collins, too, carried out deamination of optically active 2-amino-1,1-diphenyl-1-propanol, but his starting material was labeled stereospecifically (I) with carbon-14 in one of the phenyl groups. He resolved...
