Abstract: The reaction pathways of singlet and triplet carbens with ethylene, cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene have been studied by means of MNDO. metho. The reasonable explanation of either cis- or trans-2-butene with triplet carbeneto form the mixtrue of cis- and trans- 1,2-dimethyl cyclopropane has been given, The. reaction activation barriers of singlet carbene with cis- and trans-2-butene, using MNDO-CIcalculation, are 53.05. and. 57.23kJ/mol, respectively. The reaction mechanism is discussed briefly in the light of frontier orbital theory.
