The abstraction of hydrogen and deuterium from ethane, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and some of their deuterated analogs by photochemically generated ground state chlorine atoms has been investigated in the temperature range 7–95 °C using methane as competitor. Rate constants and their temperature coefficients are reported for the following reactions:[Formula: see text]An Arrhenius law temperature dependence was observed in all cases. Mixed primary and α-secondary kinetic isotope effects are k1/k2 = 2.79 ± 0.27, k4/k6 = 4.13 ± 0.32, k7/k8 = 1.46 ± 0.12 at 298 K and decrease to k1/k2 = 2.53 ± 0.22, k4/k6 = 4.06 ± 0.28, k7/k8 = 1.45 ± 0.09 at 370 K, showing a "normal" temperature dependence. The kinetic isotope effect for H/D abstraction from the methyl group decreases with increasing number of chlorine substituents in the adjacent chloromethyl group. The β-secondary isotope effect, k3/k5, is close to unity and shows a slight inverse temperature dependence.

The temperature dependence of k12/k13 for methanolysis and ethanolysis at the α-carbon of 1-bromo-1-phenylethane has been determined over the ranges 25° and 45° respectively. It is found that the kinetic isotope effect increases with increasing temperature for these systems. This result offers support for earlier interpretations on the 13C fractionations measured previously and the data are considered in terms of the original Bigeleisen equation. The results indicate that primary kinetic 13C isotope effects may be useful for distinguishing between bimolecular and unimolecular substitution mechanisms.

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.

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.

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.

By monitoring the effect of deuterium decoupling on the decay of transverse 15N magnetization in D–15N spin pairs during multiple-refocusing echo sequences, we have determined fast D–D exchange rates kD and compared them with fast H–H exchange rates kH in tryptophan to determine the kinetic isotope effect as a function of pH and temperature.

Kinetic isotope effects have been determined for the E2 reaction of some 2-arylethyltrimethyl-ammonium ions with ethoxide in ethanol at 40°. The nitrogen effect, (k14/k15 − 1)100, decreased with increasing electron-withdrawing ability of the para substituent; i.e. 1.37, 1.33, 1.14, and 0.88 for p-OCH3, p-H, p-Cl, and p-CF3, respectively. Furthermore, the primary hydrogen–deuterium isotope effects increased for the same substituents, respectively; i.e. kH/kD = 2.64, 3.23, 3.48, and 4.16. A large positive ρ value of 3.66 was found as well as a small secondary α-deuterium effect of 1.02 for p-H. In addition, the nitrogen isotope effect decreased with increasing strength of the abstracting base for the reaction of ethyltrimethylammonium ion; i.e. 1.86 and 1.41 at 60° for reaction with EtO−–EtOH and t-BuO−–t-BuOH, respectively. The results are discussed in terms of recent theoretical treatments of the effect of base, substituents, and nature of the leaving group on the nature of the transition state for an E2 process. The conclusion is reached that any structural change which causes one bond (C—H) to be weakened more at the transition state will have a corresponding effect on the other bond [Formula: see text]

As a test of our earlier interpretations of the 13C kinetic isotope effects found for alcoholysis of 1-phenyl-1-bromoethane, we have examined the effect of the p-methyl and p-bromo substituents on the 13C fractionations in ethanol and methanol. Isotopic fractionation at the α-carbon is found to be substituent dependent, and the observed trend is consistent with the proposal that stabilization of the cationic center by the phenyl ring is a major factor governing the isotope effect in these systems. The first example of an inverse primary kinetic isotope effect for carbon (k12/k13 < 1) is described.
