2‐Naphthylphenylcarbene (2‐NPC) was studied by low‐temperature EPR spectroscopy and by solution‐phase laser flash photolysis. 2‐NPC was found to have a triplet ground state with two distinct rotomeric forms. The triplet carbene was found to react with methanol, 1,1‐diphenylethylene, styrene, carbon tetrachloride, isoprene, toluene and 2‐methyltetrhydrofuran.
