Carbines and carbenoids

In order to facilitate the search for the stereoselective synthesis of a cyclopropane derivative with a particular substitution pattern, this section is organized according to the carbene (carbenoid) substituents. The sequence of carbenes therefore parallels that in the Houben-Weyl Volume E 19 b on Carbene (Carbenoidc)/Carbine which deals with all aspects of carbene chemistry including scope and limitations of various [2 + 1] cycloadditions. For many classes of carbenes. and. in particular, for typical experimental procedures, cross references are made to the corresponding pages in that volume.
