To independently assess the contribution of ground-state pseudoallylic strain to the enormous rates of amide bond cleavage in tertiary amide derivatives of Kemp's triacid, we have studied four amide derivatives of (1alpha-3alpha-5beta)-5-tert-butyl-1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid. Our results demonstrate that absent pseudoallylic strain, a 1,3-diaxial interaction of an amide with a carboxylic acid leads to only a 2400-fold increase in the rate of amide bond cleavage as compared with the rate of ...[more]
