The kinetics of the topochemical reaction of cyclopentadiene with metallic sodium were studied in a toluene medium. It was found that the observed rate of the first-order reaction is proportional to the surface of sodium and the cyclopentadiene concentration. The values of the energy of activation and reaction-rate constants are: E = 31 kJ/mole; k = 7.4 x 10/sup -4/ liter/m/sup 2/ x sec at 40/sup 0/C.
