Abstract

The addition of hydrogen to methylene, the prototype of methylene insertion reactions, is studied with a modified CNDO procedure. Carbene insertions proceed via non least motion processes. The two product orbitals are formed consecutively, each by a steady combination of an occupied and an empty orbital of the reactants. This principle determines the calculated reaction coordinate and leads to a concerted two step mechanism. The chemical consequences of the mechanism are discussed.
