The kinetics of reactions of CN with the chlorinated methanes CH3Cl, CH2Cl2, CHCl3 and CCl4 were investigated over the temperature range 298-573 K, using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy. At 298 K, rate constants of 9.0 ± 0.3 × 10-13, 8.8 ± 0.4 × 10-13, 9.0 ± 0.5 × 10-13 and 4.3 ± 0.6 × 10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 were measured, respectively. A small positive temperature dependence was observed, as well as kinetic isotope effects of kH/kD ～ 2.14-2.25. These data along with product detection experiments strongly suggest that hydrogen abstraction dominates these reactions.

Alkylhalonium methylides were generated by two independent routes, proving their formation through derived product analysis.The reaction of singlet methylene, produced by photolysis of diazomethane, with methyl and ethyl halides gives in competition with C-H insertion evidence of methylenation of halogen atom, i.e., alkylhalonium methylide formation.The unstable halonium methylides are immediatly protonated or alkylated in the reaction medium to give dialkylhalonium ions which then undergo cleavage to the corresponding alkyl halides.Methyliodonium methylide was also generated via the deprotonation of dimethyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate with sodium hydride in competition with the expected methylation of fluoride and hydride, giving the major products.Subsequent methylation of the methyliodonium methylide by excess dimethyliodonium ion gives methylethyliodonium ion followed by cleavage leading to the formation of ethyl halides and via hydride reduction to ethane, respectively.Attempted formation of alkylhalonium methylides via fluoride cleavage of methylhalonium hexafluoroantimonates was unsuccessful due to ready disproportionation of the halonium ions.
