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.
