Tóm tắt

Quantum chemical calculation by the expanded Huckel method revealed that the mechanism for the insertion of singlet methylene into the C-C1 bond of methyl chloride consists in the electrophilic attack by methylene on the C-Cl bond, with a subsequent synchronous transfer of the chlorine atom to the methyl and the formation of ethyl chloride; here the vacant p-orbital of methylene does not react with the unshared pairs of the chlorine atom.
