Additions of phenylchlorocarbene and phenylfluorocarbene to representative alkynes are rapid (10 6 –10 7 l mol −1 s −1 ). The variation of the rate constants with alkyne structure parallels that observed with analogous alkene substrates. The addition of phenylchlorocarbene to 3‐hexyne is characterized by a very low activation energy (∼ 2 kcal mol −1 ) and a large, negative entropy of activation (∼ −20 e.u.).
