Abstract

The gas-phase thermolysis kinetics of R,R-cyclopropane-1,2-d2 have been monitored by using vibrational circular dichroism to follow the loss of optical activity due to the production of the trans S,S-enantiomer and the achiral cis isomer, and by using partial least squares fitting of the FTIR bands in the 1000 cm1 region to measure the production of the cis isomer. The results of these measurements and their implications for the mechanism of ring opening deduced from both of the kinetic measurements will be discussed.
