The thermal unimolecular decomposition of diethyl carbonate‐1,1,1,2,2‐ d 5 has been examined in the high‐pressure‐limiting region. The observed chemistry is consistent with a simple, competitive two‐channel model:The intramolecular isotope effect k H / k D has been determined, and the relative Arrhenius parameters for the two channels are given by\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ k_{\rm H} /k_D = (0.80 \pm 0.18)\,\exp [(1140 \pm 260){\rm cal/mol/RT}] $$\end{document}over the temperature range of 540–620 K. These Arrhenius parameters predict an isotope effect k H / k D = 5.4 at 300 K.
