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.

A series of specifically deuterated syn-7-chloro-, anti-7-chloro-, syn-7-bromo-, and anti-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylates have been prepared and solvolyzed in NaOAc-buffered 80:20 EtOH–H2O. For solvolysis at 25 °C the γ-kinetic isotope effects (KIE's) for syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (1e), anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (2c), syn-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (1f), anti-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d (2d), syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo,exo-5,6-d2 (1g), anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo,exo-5,6-d2 (2e) are 1.125 ± 0.007, 1.128 ± 0.005, 1.063 ± 0.008, 1.149 ± 0.020, 1.119 ± 0.011, and 1.115 ± 0.013, respectively. There is no detectable γ-kinetic isotope effect for solvolysis of anti-7-chloro-endo-2-norbornyl brosylate-endo-6-d(3a) and the β-KIE for anti-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-exo-3-d(4a) is 1.111 ± 0.011. From a consideration of the possible sources of the unusually large secondary KIE's, we conclude that the exo-6-d and endo-6-d γ-KIE's likely are derived from a combination of effects rather than from participation of the C1—C6 bond in the ionization step.

Abstract. Concepts were developed to establish relationships between the stable carbon isotope ratios of nitrophenols in the atmosphere and the photochemical processing of their precursors, light aromatic volatile organic compounds. These concepts were based on the assumption that nitrophenols are formed dominantly from the photo-oxidation of aromatic volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A mass balance model as well as various scenarios based on the proposed mechanism of nitrophenol formation were formulated and applied to derive the time-integrated exposure of the precursors to processing by OH radicals (∫[OH]dt) from ambient observations made between 2009 and 2012 in Toronto, Canada. The mechanistic model included the possibility of isotopic fractionation during intermediate steps, rather than only during the initial reaction step. This model takes kinetic isotope effects for the reaction of the precursor VOC with the hydroxyl radical and their respective rate constants into account, as well as carbon isotope ratio source signatures. While many of these values are known, there are some, such as the kinetic isotope effects of reactions of first- and second-generation products, which are unknown. These values were predicted in this study based on basic principles and published laboratory measurements of kinetic carbon isotope effects and were applied to the mechanistic model. Due to the uncertainty of the estimates based on general principles, three scenarios were used with different values for isotope effects that were not known from laboratory studies. Comparison of the dependence between nitrophenol carbon isotope ratios and ∫[OH]dt with published results of laboratory studies and ambient observations was used to narrow the range of plausible scenarios for the mechanistic model. The results also suggests that mass-balance-based models do not adequately describe the dependence between nitrophenol carbon isotope ratios and ∫[OH]dt.

The secondary β-deuterium isotope effect (kH/kD) has been measured over a range of temperature for the water solvolysis reactions of isopropyl methanesulphonate, p-toluenesulphonate, and bromide. In these cases the isotope effect is due to a difference in entropies of activation of the isotopic analogues rather than a difference in the enthalpies of activation. It is suggested that the observed isotope effect is due to internal rotational effects of the methyl groups in the isopropyl radical, and the lack of an isotope effect on the enthalpy of activation is accounted for by a cancellation of an effect from this source and one from zero-point energy.

Primary kinetic isotope effects have been measured for the base-catalyzed exchange reaction of 4′,1″-dimethyl-1,2,3,4-dibenzcyclohepta-1,3-diene-6-one, 1. It was found that the isotope effects kH/kT and kD/kT for the faster exchanging protons (13.6 and 3.8 respectively) are significantly larger than the corresponding values for the slower exchanging protons (4.6 and 1.6 respectively). These differences could result from truly unequal isotope effects due to transition state differences or intrusion of a second pathway for exchange of the less reactive proton in the dedeuteration reaction. The data appear to support the latter interpretation. The secondary deuterium isotope effect was found to be 1.18.

The aqueous ethanolysis reactions of adamantylideneadamantyl tosylate, -bromide, and -iodide (1-OTs, 1-Br and 1-I) were monitored as a function of ionic strength. Special salt effects are observed during the solvolyses of both homoallylic halides, but not in the case of the tosylate 1-OTs. The measured α-secondary deuterium kinetic isotope effects for the solvolysis of 1-Br in 80:20 and 60:40 v/v ethanol–water mixtures at 25 °C are 1.110 ± 0.018 and 1.146 ± 0.009, respectively. The above results are consistent with the homoallylic halides reacting via a virtual transition state in which both formation and dissociation of a solvent-separated ion pair are partially rate-determining. While the corresponding transition state for adamantylideneadamantyl tosylate involves formation of the solvent-separated ion pair.Key words: salt effects, kinetic isotope effect, internal return, solvolysis, ion pairs.
