Quantum state distributions for the H-2 product of the reaction of H atoms with CD3(CH2)(4)CD3 at 1.6 eV collision energy have been measured to characterize the dynamics of hydrogen atom abstraction at secondary sites in linear alkanes. The measured distributions are compared with those obtained previously for the H + n-C6H14 --> H-2 + C6H13 reaction. The two distributions are quite similar. The small differences seen between them are evaluated within a local reaction model developed for these types of reactions.
