Carbene intramolecular reaction Carbene intermolecular reaction. The 1,2-rearrangement produced from intramolecular insertion into a bond adjacent to the carbene center is a nuisance in some reaction schemes, as it consumes the carbene to yield the same effect as a traditional elimination reaction.

A transition metal carbene complex is an organometallic compound featuring a divalent carbon ligand, itself also called a carbene. [1] Carbene complexes have been synthesized from most transition metals and f-block metals , [ 2 ] using many different synthetic routes such as nucleophilic addition and alpha-hydrogen abstraction.

Methylene (IUPAC name: Methylidene, also called carbene or methene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 2 (also written [CH 2] and not to be confused with compressed hydrogen, which is also denoted CH 2). It is a colourless gas that fluoresces in the mid-infrared range, and only persists in dilution, or as an adduct.
Carbyne molecules are generally found to be in electronic doublet states: the non-bonding electrons on carbon are arranged as one radical (unpaired electron) and one electron pair, leaving a vacant atomic orbital, rather than being a triradical (the quartet state).

Bonding scheme of carbene radical complexes as compared to Schrock and Fischer-type carbene complexes. Carbene radicals are a special class of organometallic carbenes.The carbene radical can be formed by one-electron reduction of Fischer-type carbenes using an external reducing agent, or directly upon carbene formation at an open-shell transition metal complex (in particular low-spin cobalt(II ...
A persistent carbene (also known as stable carbene) is an organic molecule whose natural resonance structure has a carbon atom with incomplete octet (a carbene), but does not exhibit the tremendous instability typically associated with such moieties.
The net reaction gives a transition metal carbene complex: L n M≡CR + HX → L n (X)M=CHR. These complexes can also undergo photochemical reactions. In some carbyne complexes, coupling of the carbyne ligand to a carbonyl is observed. Protonation of the carbyne carbon and conversion of the carbyne ligand into a π-allyl. [13]
