The secondary to 1000 deg F. -deuterium isotope effects were measured in the water solvolytic reaction of alkyl halides and sulfonated for primary, secondary, and tertiary species. In (k/sub H//k/sub D/) 1). This isotope effect may be associated with varying degrees of hyperconjugation or altered nonbonding intramolecular forces. The experiments make it difficult to decide which effect is most important.
