The reactions of free radical addition to allylic compounds are believed to proceed the S H 2′ mechanism. It is not clear whether the S H 2′ mechanism is concerted or stepwise. The leaving group effects and the secondary α‐deuterium kinetic isotope effects in free radical S H 2′ reactions have been determined. The leaving group effect, k Br /k Cl , is from 1.88 to 14.3. The secondary α‐deuterium kinetic isotope effects, k H /k D , are 1.20 for 2‐methylallyl chloride and 1,1‐d 2 ‐2‐methylallyl chloride and 1.22 for allyl chloride and 1,1‐d 2 ‐allyl chloride. The free radical S H 2′ reactions seem to favor the concerted mechanism.
