Title: SECONDARY DEUTERIUM ISOTOPE EFFECTS IN SOME SN1 AND E$sub 2$ REACTIONS

Journal Article · · Croatica Chemica Acta (Yugoslavia)
OSTI ID:4806837

The reaction rate of 0.025 M solution of PhCH/sub 2/CD/sub 2/Br(I) with NaOEt (0.019 M) in anh. EtOH was measured at 59.8 deg C by extinction at 248 m mu . A k/sub H//k/sub D/ value of 1.17 was found. k/sub H//k/sub D/ = 1 was measured potentiometrically for the reaction of 0.05 M solutions of PhCH/sub 2/CD/ sub a/SMe/sub 2/Br(II) and NaOH in H/sub 2/O at 79.55 deg C. With II, about 75% D exchanged during reaction in 2 to 5 M solutions k/sub H//k/sub D/ = 1.25 was determined potentiometrically for the hydrolysis of MeCD/sub 2/C(CD/sub 3/)/sub 2/ SMe/sub 2 /I (0.05 M solution) at 59.75 deg C. The smaller isotope effects in reactions of sulfonium salts vs halides are explained by larger electron transfer in the transition state of the latter reactions. k/sub H//k/sub D/> 1 in the E/ sub 2/ reaction of I is ascribed to partial rehybridization of C-D bonds in the rate-determining step.
