The temperature dependence of k 12 /k 13 for methanolysis and ethanolysis at the α-carbon of 1-bromo-1-phenylethane has been determined over the ranges 25° and 45° respectively. It is found that the kinetic isotope effect increases with increasing temperature for these systems. This result offers support for earlier interpretations on the 13 C fractionations measured previously and the data are considered in terms of the original Bigeleisen equation. The results indicate that primary kinetic 13 C isotope effects may be useful for distinguishing between bimolecular and unimolecular substitution mechanisms.
