68. Kinetic deuterium isotope effects of 2.9 and 4.3 have previously been observed for the copper-catalyzed reaction of tert-butylperoxyesters with allylbenzene. The lower value observed here with ethylbenzene may be a result of a more linear H-transfer process, or an early transition state; see: (a) Denney, D. B.; Denney, D. Z.; Feig, G.
