Phase-separation temperatures Tp have been measured for the systems H2O+C6H5OH, H2O+ C6H5OD, H20+ CsD5OD, D20+ C6H50H, D2O+ C6H5OD, D2O+ C6DsOD, H2O+ (CH3)2CHCO2H and D2O+ (CH3)2CHCO2H. For water+ 2-methylpropanoic acid, the differences in the Tp-x curves for the exchange and no-exchange systems are striking. For water + phenol, on the other hand, the effect of deuterium-exchange reactions on the Tp-x curves is very small. The results for all systems are in accord with the qualitative predictions of the Rabinovich theory, which accounts for deuterium isotope effects in liquid-liquid phase diagrams in terms of hydrogen bond and London dispersion interactions. Molar excess enthalpies and molar excess volumes at 300.15 K are reported for the system water + 2-methylpropanoic acid. The results are compared with those for water + acetic acid.

Elimination Reactions

Rate constants for the β-elimination of HCl from 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethane (I) and 2,2-di(4-nitrophenyl)-1,1,1-trichloroéthane (II) promoted by tetramethylguanidine in the aprotic solvents acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, and n-hexane have been measured. The activation parameters are characterized by small enthalpies of activation (4.1 to 7.3 kcal mol−1) and large negative entropies of activation (−35 to −50 cal mol−1 deg−1). The primary deuterium isotope effects at 20° C range from kH/kD = 4.8 to 10.3. The results are interpreted to indicate an (EcB)1 mechanism for both substrates I and II in acetonitrile solvent and an E2H or mixed (ElcB)1–E2H mechanism in the less polar solvents, tetrahydrofuran and n-hexane.
