Abstract

Difluorocarbene is an unusually stable and chemically selective carbene occurring as a ground-state singlet.¹ When generated in situ from triphenylphosphine, di-fluorodibromomethane, and inorganic fluoride salts in triglyme, it forms cyclopropanes in high yield from tri- and tetraalkyl olefins (e.g., 74-79% from 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene) and in low yield from symmetrically dialkylated olefins (cis-2-butene, 6%; trans-2-butene, 12%; cyclohexene, 21%).^2,3. © 1990, American Chemical Society.
