The reactivity of recoil tritium in the T-for-H substitution was studied in mixtures of benzene, hexane, cyclohexane or cyclohexane-d12 with lithium carbonate which were irradiated in a reactor. The relative rates per C–H bond of hexane and cyclohexane to benzene were somewhat less than one third. The H/D isotope effect in cyclohexane was given as 1.14.
