DEUTERIUM KINETIC ISOTOPE EFFECTS: V TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF β-DEUTERIUM EFFECTS IN WATER SOLVOLYSIS OF ISOPROPYL COMPOUNDS
Keyword(s):
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.
