Abstract

The intermolecular-intramolecular rate constants derived from the thermolysis and photolysis of 3-chloro-3-benzyldiazirine in tetramethylethylene gave an excellent Arrhenius plot; an activation energy of 6.4 kcal mol–1 (26.8 kJ mol–1) was obtained for the 1, 2-H migration in benzylchlorocarbene.
