endo-Norbornyl-2-d p-bromobenzenesulfonate was synthesized and the isotope effects, as measured by kH/kD, were determined over a range of temperatures for solvolyses in 30% water – 70% dioxane, acetic acid, and formic acid. Values of kH/kD are of the order of 1.20. The data appear to indicate slightly higher isotope effects as the solvents are changed from aqueous dioxane to acetic acid to formic acid, as well as somewhat higher isotope effects at lower temperatures. Possible mechanistic implications of these results are presented. Relative titrimetric acetolysis rates, kexo/kendo, at different temperatures, and enthalpies and entropies of activation for these acetolyses are evaluated and discussed.

Rate constants in aqueous solutions are reported for proton and deuteron abstraction by a variety of bases from tricarbomethoxymethane, the propan-2-one-1-sulphonate ion, 2-acetylcyclohexanone and ethyl nitroacetate. The rates of ionization were measured by using bromine or iodine as scavengers to remove the anions, and, for ethyl nitroacetate by direct observation of the rate of appearance of the anion. The kinetic isotope effects vary from k H / k D = 2.5 to k H / k D = 10.3, and confirm the regularities previously found (Bell & Crooks 1965; Bell & Goodall 1966). In particular, the results for the reaction of ethyl nitro-acetate with nine bases show clearly that with increasing basic strength the isotope effect passes through a well-marked maximum. Sterically hindered pyridine bases give rise to abnormally high isotope effects, probably attributable to increased tunnel corrections.
