The T-for-H substitution reaction was studied in the recoil tritium reactions with toluene in C6F6-moderated systems. The moderator-free control experiment showed an approximately uniform labeling in the aromatic ring, with a slightly enhanced reactivity in the ortho- and para-positions (o: 41%, m: 38%, p: 21%) and showed a preference for ring tritiation over methyl group tritiation (23 relative to the corresponding ring assumed as a standard (= 100)). The addition of hexafluorobenzene progressively changed the uniform distribution to a marked ortho- and para-orientation and decreased the relative tritium activity of the methyl group. If the C6F6/PhCH3 mole ratio is 204, the tritium distribution in the ring is o: 53%, m: 22%, p: 25% and the methyl group activity is reduced to 2. The data show the existence of the threshold energy of side chain tritiation and that the selective aromatic ring tritiation is given by increasing contribution of the reactions of tritium atoms having lower energy than the threshold energy.

Recoil tritium reactions in the aromatic ring were investigated with toluene and benzonitrile in the moderator-free and the C6F6-moderated systems in terms of the intramolecular tritium distribution, the relative tritiation rate, and the isotope effect in toluene. The reactions free from hexafluorobenzene are in essential agreement with non-selective nature shown in hot atom reactions. The addition of the moderator to the systems changes more markedly the uniform labeling to o,p-orientation in toluene than in benzonitrile, and the 1.17 PhCH3/PhCN tritiation rate (in PhCH3-d8/PhCN, 0.942) to the 1.89 PhCH3/PhCN one (in PhCH3-d8/PhCN, 1.51) when the mole ratio of C6F6/substrate is about 100. These findings agree with the electrophilic nature of the tritium at lower energies. The H/D isotope effect in the moderated system is given as 1.89/1.51 or 1.25 and is substantially the same as that (1.24) in the moderator-free system.
