Flash thermolysis is a special form of gas‐phase thermolysis that is particularly suitable for the production and isolation of thermolabile reaction products. The theoretical basis and the instrumental requirements of the method are first given, and the preparative importance of flash thermolysis for the synthesis of thioketenes, allenes, arynes, highly strained ring systems, quinodimethanes, and other reactive compounds is then demonstrated with the aid of examples.
