Abstract:
Within the scope of phase-transfer halogenations (Br and I) of alkanes, significant HID kinetic isotope effects (KIE = 4-5) indicate that hydrogen abstraction is rate limiting. The excellent agreement of computed and experimentally determined H/D KIE as well as trapping experiments support the involvement of trihalomethyl radicals in the activation step.
