Halogenated carbodiimides reactions

Heterocumulenes undergo insertion reactions with numerous substrates. In general, carbodiimides react faster than isocyanates and isothiocyanates, in that order. Insertions of carbodiimides into metal-hydrogen, metal-halogen, metal-mitrogen, metal-oxygen and metal-sulfur bonds are reported. Also insertions of carbodiimides into carbon-hydrogen bonds are known.
