α-TRITIUM ISOTOPE EFFECTS IN THE MENSCHUTKIN-TYPE REACTION WITH VARIABLE TRANSITION STATES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)85718-4

Secondary α-tritium isotope effects in the series of the Menschutkin-type reaction of benzyl benzenesulfonates with N,N-dimethylanilines were all small and varied only slightly; it was concluded that the transition states vary mainly in the parallel direction to the reaction coordinate.
