Dichlorocarbene

Related reactions
The Doering-LaFlamme carbon chain extension [3]describes the conversion of alkenes to allenes (a chain extension) with magnesium or sodium metal through initial reaction of the alkene with dichlorocarbene. The same sequence is incorporated in the Skattebøl rearrangement to cyclopentadienes. Dichlorocarbene also features in the Reimer-Tiemann reaction. Closely related is the more reactive dibromocarbene CBr2. KRAIG :)
Synthetic methods
Other dichlorocarbene precursors are ethyl trichloracetate when reacted with sodium in methanol [4] and phenyl(trichloromethyl)mercury by thermal decomposition [5] . Dichlorodiazirine is an experimental dichlorocarbene precursor [6]. It is stable in the dark at room temperature and decomposes into the carbene and nitrogen gas by photolysis.
The reaction mechanism for the formation of dichloroaziridine is depicted below:
Dichlorocarbene can also be obtained by reaction of carbon tetrachloride with elemental magnesium with ultrasound chemistry [8]. This method is tolerant to esters and carbonyl compounds because it does not involve strong base.
