1. Generation Of
Carbenes
Carbenes are most often
made from diazoalkanes
using photolytic, thermal, or
transition metal-catalysed
methods.

2. Rhodium and copper are
commonly used in
catalysts. In aprotic
solvents, the
Bamford-Stevens
reaction produces
carbenes.

3. Carbene Transfer
Reaction
Carbene transfer reactions are
very important transformations
that allows the generation of
structural products by
catalysed cyclopropanation,
carbene C-H, N-H, O-H,
insertion.

4. A carbene is a neutral
divalent carbon species
containing two electrons
that are not shared with
other atoms.
