“…this is well within the range of 1.20-1.30 found by Schubert and Henson. 4 In addition, if it is assumed that the isotope effects per D, rather than per group, were constant so that the methylene group isotope effects were equal to the two-thirds power of the methyl effects, the calculated values for 7?CD3CH3, 0.927, 7?CH3CD3, 1.177, (/?Cd3CHj)27?ch3CD3, 1.011, and tfCH3CDV7?CD3CH3, 1.270 are still the same, within the range of experimental error.…”
