The secondary β-deuterium isotope effects have been measured in the water solvolytic reaction of alkyl halides and sulphonates for primary, secondary, and tertiary species. In every case the kinetic isotope effect was greater than unity (kH/kD > 1). This isotope effect may be associated with varying degrees of hyperconjugation or altered non-bonding intramolecular forces. The experiments make it difficult to decide which effect is most important.

Secondary α-deuterium kinetic isotope effects have been determined for the elimination reactions of 2-phenylethyl halides with tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol at 40 °C in the presence and absence of the crown ether 18C6. The second-order rate constant k2 and the normal (kH/kD)α effect remained constant when the tert-butoxide concentration was varied for reaction of the iodo and bromo compounds. However, both the magnitude of k2 and the secondary α-deuterium isotope effect were significantly dependent on [t-BuO−] when chlorine and fluorine are the leaving groups. It is noteworthy that (kH/kD)α is inverse for the reaction of both the chloro and fluoro compounds at "low" base concentrations and normal at "high" base concentrations. These results are discussed in terms of both syn- and anti-elimination pathways promoted by various associated and dissociated base species. It is suggested that the (kH/kD)α effect may be useful as a criterion for determining the stereochemistry of E2 elimination reactions.

This paper presents data showing that in dilute aqueous solutions of butanone, 3-pentanone, cyclohexanone, di-tert-butyl ketone, and acetaldehyde the addition reaction of muonium atoms occurs with a rate constant close to 1 × 108 M−1 s−1. The same value was obtained previously for acetone. Thus the reaction rate is virtually independent of the group attached to the C=O, be it a methyl, methylene, tert-butyl, or even a hydrogen atom. This is in sharp contrast to the reactivity of ordinary 1H atoms, whose rate constants are much slower and dependent on adjacent groups. In fact muonium and 1H react by different mechanisms, to form different products, so their rate ratio represents a complex kinetic isotope effect. Keywords: kinetic isotope effects, muonium atoms, muon spin rotation, ketones, hydrogen atom reactions.

Isotopic labelling studies have shown that the E2 reaction of 1-chloro-2-phenylethane with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol occurs via an anti-periplanar stereochemistry. This demonstrates that the different secondary alpha deuterium kinetic isotope effects found for the high and low base concentrations and in the presence of 18-crown-6 ether are because of changes in transition state structure that occur when the form of the reacting base changes rather than to a change in the stereochemistry of the reaction.Key words: E2 reaction, stereochemistry, secondary alpha deuterium kinetic isotope effects, transition state.
