Abstract
The 1,2-carbenic hydride shift of neopentylmethoxycarbene was suppress ed by the methoxy substituent. Thermally activated hydride shifts were observed with phenoxymethoxycarbene and phenoxymethyltrifluoroethyoxy carbene, where appropriate potentiating substituents were introduced a t both the migration origin and the migration terminus. Similarly, the 1.3-CH insertion reaction of tert-butylfluorocarbene could be induced by thermal activation.
