30. Competition experiments would give us more insight into the mechanism for the C-H bond cleavage. Indeed, we examined an intramolecular competition experiment by using 2-(2-deuteriophenyl)pyridine. However, the kinetic isotope effect of the reaction cannot be determined accurately owing to H/D scrambling between the starting material and the co-produced hydrosilane.
