Rate constants for the base-catalysed detritiation of diethyl malonate have been determined in aqueous solution. Various indicators of transition state structure, such as primary hydrogen isotope effects, Brönsted β exponent, rates of ion recombination, and solvent isotope effects all give consistent picture. The results are compared with those obtained for carbon acids activated by cyano and disulphonyl groups.
