Within the context of the impulse approximation we analyze the reaction ${\mu }^{-}+{\mathrm{Li}}^6\to {\mathrm{H}}^3+{\mathrm{H}}^3+\nu$ using the current-current theory of weak interactions and an $\alpha -d$ model of ${\mathrm{Li}}^6$ fitted to the binding energy and charge radius of ${\mathrm{Li}}^6$. The model is tested by considering the channel ${\mu }^{-}+{\mathrm{Li}}^6\to {\mathrm{He}}^6+\nu$. Within the limitations of our stated approximations, total rates are estimated for these two modes and the combined triton distribution given for the ditriton channel.
