1. The activation parameters for the thermal decomposition of benzoyl azide and diazoacetone in the gas phase have been measured. 2. Available kinetic data favor the Curtius and Wolff rearrangements being two-step mechanisms. In the step controlling the observed rate of unimolecular decomposition, a molecule of N2 is eliminated, and a singlet electron-deficient intermediate species forms.
