The unimolecular thermal decomposition of chloroethane-2-d3 and chloroethane-2-d1 was studied in a static system at two temperatures and at pressures between 0.1 and 10 mm Hg. The rate constants for the high pressure limit were obtained from these measurements and used to calculate the Arrhenius equations. The decomposition of chloroethane-2-d3 was also studied at high conversions and yielded almost exclusively (97%) DCl and CD2CH2 as shown by mass spectrometric analysis thus proving a molecular elimination mechanism via a four-centered reaction complex.
