The transmethylation reaction of isotopically labeled S-methyldibenzothiophenium (l2CH3-SCi2H8+, 13CH3-SC| 2Hg+, and, 2CD3-SC12H8+) tetrafluoroborates with methoxide ion in methanol at 25 C shows kiH/k} D= 0.97±0.02 and k\2¡ k\i= 1.08±0.02. The large carbon isotope effect is similar to that for enzymic transmethylation and is consistent with a central, roughly planar methyl group in the transition state. The «-D effect is compared with others for enzymic and nonenzymic transmethylation and transalkylation reactions by estimating the transition-state fractionation factor-relative to ethane, using thecalculated factors of Hartshorn and Shiner. For 22 transmethylation reactions, 0T is closely described in terms of reactant (r) and product (0P) factors by= O. 99 (0R0P) 70. Transmethylation transition states appear structural-ly implasticwith a roughly constant, probably high valency to methyl. Transalkylation transition states appear to be looser, relative to reactants andproducts, than transmethylation transition states and also far more structurally plastic. The enzymic transition state has an unusually large fractionation factor, consistent with transition-state compression as a mechanism of en-zymic catalysis.
