A kinetic isotope effect was observed in the rate of formation of the final product of the reaction between tricyanoethylene and dimethylaniline and its deutero-derivatives that was consistent with the mechanism proposed by Rappoport (J. Chem. Soc., 4498, 1963)). Investigations of the mechanism of reactions between dialkylanilines and tritcyanoethylene showed that the formation of a chargetransfer complex between the free base and tritcyanoethylene is not essential to the formation of the theta -complex, but that in organic solvents some charge-transfer complex formation is always observed. The electron-donating ability of the dialkylanilines was measured. (M.C.G.)
