Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)83491-8

p-Cyclopropyltoluene and 2-cyclopropylmesitylene have been prepared and the rates of base-catalyzed H-D exchange of the benzylic hydrogen atoms, para positioned with respect to the cyclopropyl group, have been compared with those of suitable model compoun
