The abstraction of hydrogen/deuterium from CH3CHDCl by ground state chlorine atoms produced photolytically from Cl2 has been investigated at temperatures betwen 280 and 368 K. The relative rates for the internal competition[Formula: see text]are found to conform to an Arrhenius rate law:[Formula: see text]These data, taken together with the external competition results for the C2H5Cl/CH3CHDCl system, in conjunction with the competitive results using CH4 as a primary reference, have yielded the rate constants (cm3 s−1):[Formula: see text]The relatively weak primary kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD, decreases with increasing temperature from 1,855 at 280 K to 1.66 at 365 K. The results are compared with those obtained based on the BEBO method. While both the trend and the magnitude of the kinetic isotope effect are satisfactorily predicted, the activation energy is not.

Hydrogen abstraction by CF3 radicals from CH3COOCH3 and CD3COOCH3 has been studied in the temperature range 78-242°, and data have been obtained for the reactions: CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+[C3H5O2] �������������(3) CF3 + CH3COOCH3 → CF3H+CH2COOCH3������������ (4) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3D+CD2COOCH3������������ (6) CF3 + CD3COOCH3 → CF3H+CD3COOCH2������������ (7) The corresponding rate constants, based on the value of 1013.36 cm3 mol-1 S-1 for the recombination of CF3 radicals, are given by (k in cm3 mol-1 s-1 and E in J mol-1): logk3 = (11.52�0.05)-(35430�380)/19.145T ���� (3)logk4 = (11.19�0.07)-(34680�550)/19.145T ���� (4)logk6 = (11.34�0.06)-(46490�490)/19.145T ���� (6)logk7 = (11.26�0.05)-(36440�400)/19.145T ���� (7)At 400 K, 59% of abstraction occurs from the acetyl group, and 41 % from the methoxy group. The kinetic isotope effect at 400 K for attack on the acetyl group is 25, due mainly to a difference in activation energies.

Monoamine oxidase A (MAO A) is a well-known enzyme responsible for the oxidative deamination of several important monoaminergic neurotransmitters. The rate-limiting step of amine decomposition is hydride anion transfer from the substrate α–CH2 group to the N5 atom of the flavin cofactor moiety. In this work, we focus on MAO A-catalyzed benzylamine decomposition in order to elucidate nuclear quantum effects through the calculation of the hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) kinetic isotope effect. The rate-limiting step of the reaction was simulated using a multiscale approach at the empirical valence bond (EVB) level. We applied path integral quantization using the quantum classical path method (QCP) for the substrate benzylamine as well as the MAO cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide. The calculated H/D kinetic isotope effect of 6.5 ± 1.4 is in reasonable agreement with the available experimental values.
