Abstract

Introduction chloroform proceeds through dichloroniethylene, The chemistry of dihalocarbenes (&halomethyl-many more reactions have been reported in which enes) has been rather intensively investigated over this intermediate has been postulated. Thus the the past decade. After HineZ demonstrated by reaction of haloforms with potassium t-butoxide kinetic methods that the alkaline hydrolysis of leads to the formation of these divalent carbon
