Deuterium Isotope Effects

The photolyses of mixtures of NH3, NH2D, NHD2, and ND3 have been studied at wave lengths of 2144, 2139, 2062, and 1850 Å in the presence of C3H8 as a hydrogen atom scavenger. Quantum yields of dissociation have the same values for all four species, presumably unity. Analysis of the H2 and HD produced permitted evaluation of intramolecular deuterium isotope effects in the photodissociation of NH2D and ND2H. At the two shortest wavelengths dissociation of H was favored by a factor of 2 or 3, while at 2144 and 2139 Å the isotope effect was much larger. Implications for the mechanism of the predissociation of the Ã-state of ammonia are discussed briefly. The system does not appear to be useful for the photochemical separation of deuterium.

Intramolecular Forces

The secondary β-deuterium isotope effects have been measured in the water solvolytic reaction of alkyl halides and sulphonates for primary, secondary, and tertiary species. In every case the kinetic isotope effect was greater than unity (kH/kD > 1). This isotope effect may be associated with varying degrees of hyperconjugation or altered non-bonding intramolecular forces. The experiments make it difficult to decide which effect is most important.

Deuterium Isotope Effects

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 photolyses of NH3 and ND3 have been studied at 2139, 2062, and 1850 Å in the presence of propane and ethylene. Upper limits (none was actually observed) were established for the quantum yields of molecular dissociation of D2 from ND3 of 0.003 and 0.004 at 2139 and 2062 Å, while at 1850 Å a definite yield of 0.009 was obtained. Similar results were observed with NH3. From the dependence of hydrogen yields on the ratio of ethylene to propane, it was concluded that H and D atoms were produced in the photolysis with excess translational energy. Values of the integrated reaction probability (IRP) of hot H atoms with propane were estimated to be 0.078, 0.070, and 0.045 at 2139, 2062, and 1850 Å respectively, while corresponding values for hot D atoms from ND3 were 0.083, 0.062, and 0.029. Implications of the decrease in IRP with increasing photon energy are discussed, and it is concluded that at the shorter wavelengths a second dissociation channel leading to NH2(2A1) becomes important. A mechanism for the predissociation of the Ã-state of ammonia is presented which accounts for this behaviour and for the deuterium isotope effects observed previously. It is suggested that the dissociation does not follow the state correlation rules for dissociation in the plane of the molecule, at least when the ν2 out-of-plane bending vibration in the Ã-state is excited to levels of υ2 = 2 or higher.

The partially deuterated alkenes (CH3)2C = C(CD3)2 (1b) and CH3CD3C = CCH3CD3 (1c) were prepared and converted to the corresponding allylic hydroperoxides by the routes shown in the title. Two bromohydroperoxides were formed from 1b in a 1.6:1 ratio with the major isomer having the OOH group on the carbon bearing the CH3's. On treatment with base at 0° this mixture formed two allylic hydroperoxides in a 2.2:1 ratio with the major isomer having the OOH group on the carbon bearing the CD3's, showing migration of the OOH group. This isomer predominated in a 1.4:1 ratio when 1b was oxidized with singlet oxygen at 15 or −52° and in a 1.6:1 ratio when 1b was oxidized with triphenyl phosphite ozonide at −70°. Under the same conditions C—H bond breaking also predominated in the oxidation of 1c, by 2.1:1 via the bromohydroperoxide, by 1.4:1 with singlet oxygen, and by 1.3:1 with triphenyl phosphite ozonide. Migration of the OOH group in the reaction of the bromohydroperoxide of 1b does not occur by way of a 1,2-dioxetane. A perepoxide may be the intermediate. Neither perepoxides nor 1,2-dioxetanes are involved in the singlet oxygen oxidation of 1b and c. At −70° the triphenyl phosphite ozonide oxidations do not proceed by way of these intermediates, either, or by way of singlet oxygen. The intermolecular deuterium isotope effect in the singlet oxygen oxidation of both cis- and trans-2,3-diphenyl-2-butene was found to be 1.1.

Deuterium Isotope Effects

The γ-deuterium isotope effects for the solvolysis of anti- and syn-7-chloro-, anti- and.syn-7-bromo-exo-2-norbornyl brosylates-6-endo-d and.syn-7-chloro-exo-2-norbornyl brosylate-5,6-exo,exo-d2 in 80:20 EtOH–H2O, 0.04 M NaOAc at 65° are 1.11 ± 0.01, 1.11 ± 0.01, 1.13 ± 0.01, 1.05 ± 0.01, and 1.11 ± 0.01, respectively. The results indicate that the γ-isotope effect observed in the solvolysis of exo-norbornyl brosylate likely is not derived via neighboring group (non-vertical) participation of the C1—C6 bond.

Early Transition

Definitions for the terms stericapproachcontrol and productdevelopmentcontrol in relation to the degree of bonding in the transition state are put forward. Kinetic deuterium isotope effects in the reduction of a graded series of ketones by NaBH4 and NaBD4 have been measured. These effects are inverse, and show no systematic dependence on the degree of steric hindrance of the ketone. This evidence appears to invalidate the steric approach control – product development control explanation of the axial to equatorial product ratios (1). The primary isotope effect is very small, which is consistent with an early transition state in these reductions, as demanded by other explanations of product ratios, but since several other factors causing small isotope effects may be applicable, the evidence does not constitute proof of an early transition state.The main conclusions of this work have already been published in preliminary form (2).

Deuterium Isotope Effects

The deuterionorborneols 2a, b, c, and e have been prepared and converted to the brosylates 1a, b, c, and e. The deuterium isotope effects determined spectrophotometrically for solvolysis in HOAc–KOAc are 1.00 ± 0.01, 1.01 ± 0.01, 0.99 ± 0.01, and 1.11 ± 0.01, respectively. These data establish that: (a) a steric deuterium isotope effect does not operate at C-5 and therefore probably not at C-6; (b) hyperconjugative stabilization of the norbornonium ion to the C-5 hydrogens is confirmed to be not important, and (c) provides the first experimental evidence that the hydrogen (deuterium) shift – internal return pathway contribution to the γ-deuterium isotope effects observed for 1d and e is minor.
