Summary 8,8,11,11‐Tetradeutero‐cis‐9‐octadecene andcis‐9‐octadecene have been synthesized and their autoxidation studied at 75°. The autoxidation of both compounds proceeded in a similar manner except that the rate of reaction for the deuteroöctadecene was one‐fifth that of the octadecene. This apparently indicates that the important sustaining reaction in autoxidation is oxidative attach at thea methylenic position. That only a very small amount of deuterium was found in the water from the autoxidation of the deuteroöctadecene indicates that water does not come by direct decomposition of thea hydroperoxide.
