The carbon acid 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane reacts with phenyltetramethylguanidine in the aprotic solvents acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and chlorobenzene in a bimolecular proton transfer reaction. The primary isotope effects, kH/kD, for these reactions at 25 °C are 8.5 ± 0.4, 6.1 ± 0.4, and 16 in acetonitrile, benzonitrile, and chlorobenzene respectively. The magnitude of the isotope effects on the enthalpy of activation [Formula: see text] are 2.3 ± 0.2, 1.6 ± 0.7, and 4.2 ± 0.6 kcal mol−1, which indicates a contribution from proton tunnelling to the reaction rate of the normal substrate.
