Abstract
Isotopic labelling studies have shown that the E2 reaction of 1-chloro-2-phenylethane with potassium tert-butoxide in tert-butyl alcohol occurs via an anti-periplanar stereochemistry. This demonstrates that the different secondary alpha deuterium kinetic isotope effects found for the high and low base concentrations and in the presence of 18-crown-6 ether are because of changes in transition state structure that occur when the form of the reacting base changes rather than to a change in the stereochemistry of the reaction.Key words: E2 reaction, stereochemistry, secondary alpha deuterium kinetic isotope effects, transition state.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
