The effect of six deuterated phenols on the rate and degree of polymerization of styrene has been studied. The rate and degree of polymerization are decreased by deuterated phenols to a much less extent than by the corresponding phenols. Approximate transfer constants are estimated, and it is found that the transfer constant for hydrogen abstraction from the deuterated phenol is less than 0.2 of the transfer constant for the normal phenol. The rates of reaction of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl with three deuterated phenols have been determined. The rate constants for deuterated 2,6-di-t-butylphenol and 4-bromophenol are less than 0.15 of those for the corresponding phenols, but the isotope effect appears to be small with 4-nitrophenol.
