Abstract

Ab initio MO calculations predict the activation energies for the insertions of difluorocarbene into substituted ethenes C2H3X (X = F, Cl, Me) to be 61,68 and 52 kJ mol-1, respectively; these results indicate that the monosubstitution on the ethene has no significant effects on the activation energy of the reaction.
