The radiation-induced oxidation of 2-propanol to acetone by N2O in alkaline aqueous solution proceeds via a free radical chain mechanism independent of pH above 12.5. The results are explained by abstraction of H from 2-propanol by O− at both the α and β positions (85% α attack). Chain propagation is by reaction of the α radical anion, (CH3)2ĊO−, with N2O with a rate constant of (3.8 ± 0.4) × 104 M−1 s−1 and by reaction of the β radical, ĊH2(CH3)CHOH, with 2-propanol to give the α radical with a rate constant of 430 ± 30 M−1 s−1.The conclusions are supported by the demonstration of kinetic isotope effects for selectively deuterated alcohols.

Kinetic Isotope

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.

Kinetic studies on the reactions of Y-aryl phenyl isothiocyanophosphates with substituted X-anilines and deuterated X-anilines were carried out in acetonitrile at 55.0 °C. The free-energy relationships with X in the nucleophiles were biphasic concave upwards with a break region between X = H and 4-Cl, giving unusual positive ρX and negative βX values with less basic anilines (X = 4-Cl and 3-Cl). A stepwise mechanism with rate-limiting bond breaking for more basic anilines and with rate-limiting bond formation for less basic anilines is proposed based on the positive and negative ρXY values, respectively. The deuterium kinetic isotope effects involving deuterated anilines (XC6H4ND2) showed primary normal and secondary inverse DKIEs for more basic and less basic anilines, rationalized by frontside attack involving hydrogen-bonded four-center-type TSf and backside attack TSb, respectively. The positive ρX values with less basic anilines are substantiated by the tight TS, in which the extent of the bond formation is great and the degree of the bond breaking is considerably small.

Kinetic Isotope

The equilibrium isotope effect on the acid dissociation of 2-nitropropane in wholly aqueous solution at 25° was found to be KH/KD = 1.23 ± 0.03 for complete deuteration of both methyl groups; the kinetic isotope effect for reaction of the same substrate with hydroxide ion, kH/kD = 1.09 ± 0.01; and the kinetic isotope effect for reaction with tris-(hydroxymethyl)-methylamine, kH/kD = 1.10 ± 0.01; both of the latter also refer to wholly aqueous solution at 25° and are for complete deuteration of both methyl groups. It is shown that the equilibrium isotope effect is largely, and the kinetic isotope effects probably partly, hyper conjugative in origin, thus supporting a hyper conjugative explanation of the anomalous effect of methyl groups on nitroalkane ionization.
