The enhanced yield of labelled propylene observed when recoil tritium reacts with trans-but-2-ene in the presence of nitrogen is explained by postulating an excited ·N![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
NT which can react with the olefin through a five-centre transition complex to form |C4H8T|·* and nitrogen and which decomposes in the usual way to form propylene.
