The Transition State of Free Radical S_H2′ Reaction of Allyl Chloride with Organomercurial Study by Inverse Secondary α‐Deuterium Kinetic Isotope Effect

Abstract

The concerted mechanism of free radical SH2′ reaction of 2‐substituted allyl chloride was suggested again by inverse secondary α‐deuterium isotope effect. The transition state of free radical SH2′ reaction of allyl chlorides seems to be symmetrical and is not as early as that of a free radical addition reaction.
