Abstract

AbstractThe secondary α‐deuterium isotpe effect on the equiliburium constant (KD/KH) for the hydration of p‐nitrobenzaldehyde is 1·39 ± 0·05. The Kinetic secondary α‐deuterium isotope effect (KD/KH) for the addition of water to p‐nitrobenzaldehyde is 1·18 ± 0·07. This result demonstrates that there is extensive carbon–oxygen bond formation in the transition state for addition of water to the carbonyl group of p‐nitrobezaldehyde.
