Abstract
Mechanistic ambiguity in the kinetic results of certain Cope rearrangements has been resolved. It is concluded from rate studies in solvents of widely differing polarity that there is negligible contribution of an ionic mechanism, even in rearrangements of substrates structurally best suited to this mechanism.Keywords
