The Graham oxidation of amidines to halodiazirines, coupled with the diazirine exchange reaction, makes available many new diazirine precursors of carbenes. Nitration of the phenoxy moieties of phenoxychloro‐ or phenoxyfluorodiazirine converts them to leaving groups, ultimately permitting the preparations of CCl 2 , CClF, and CF 2 . Absolute rate constants and activation parameters are measured for the additions of these carbenes to several alkenes. The comparative contributions of Δ H ‡ and Δ S ‡ to Δ G ‡ are assessed for these reactions, as are the dependences of Δ H ‡ and Δ S ‡ on the structures and reactivities of the carbenes and alkenes.
