Reaction of heteroaromatic compounds with carbenes (review)

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The literature data on the reactions of heteroaromatic compounds of various classes with halo-, alkyl-, alkoxy-, and ketocarbenes are examined. The mechanisms of these reactions and the effect of the methods used to generate the carbenes and the nature of the heterocycle on the direction of the reaction and the structures and yields of the final products are discussed. An estimate of the possibilities of the preparative utilization of the indicated reactions is given.
