Abstract

The present investigation verifies that ..cap alpha..- and ..beta..-carbon-14 kinetic isotope effects are sensitive to mechanistic changes in the borderline solvolysis. Model calculations of kinetic isotope effects using the observed data for all the carbons and deuteriums enables one to describe the variable transition-state structures of the solvolysis of simple secondary substrates, which is still a subject of much debate in recent years. A study along this line is now in progress.
