Abstract
Activation energies were determined for the additions of three arylhalocarbenes to tetramethoxyethylene (TMeOE) and tetramethylethylene (TME) in pentane and decane. For addition of 3,5-dinitrophenylchlorocarbene to TMeOE in decane, Ea=−10.4±0.7kcal/mol, the most negative activation energy yet encountered in a carbene–alkene addition reaction. Computational studies parallel and elucidate the experimental results.
