The oxidation of alcohols by [FeO4]2− in aqueous solution is found to proceed via a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mechanism based on deuterium isotope effects, correlation between rate constants and bond dissociation energies (BDEs) and DFT calculations.

The kinetic deuterium isotope effect in the reaction of methyl iodide with thiosulfate ion in aqueous solution has been determined as follows: kH/kD (per 3D) = 0.966 (+0.02°), 0.968 (+10.00°), 0.970 (+19.98°). Kinetic experiments have been carried out in reaction vessels with no gas phase. The experimental data are compared with results of model calculations of isotope effects from force constants. Excellent agreement between experimental and calculated isotope effects may be obtained with the following values of the transition state bending force constants: fHCI = 0.295 mdyn Å, fHCS = 0.300 to 0.320 mdyn Å. These values are equal to 50–65% of the corresponding bending force constants in stable molecules.

In aqueous solution, the α-deuterium isotope effects in the solvolyses of benzyl nitrates derivatives depend on the nature of the substituent in the benzene ring. In addition, the isotope effect for some derivatives depends on mole fraction of added acetonitrile while for others the isotope effect is insensitive to solvent composition. However, the kinetic solvent isotope effects for para-methyl and meta-trifluoromethyl derivatives remain unchanged when acetonitrile is added. These observations are accounted for in terms of a model which describes the solvolytic reaction as a two-stage process and contrasts the relative importance of bond-making and bond-breaking.
