Abstract

Systematic studies of the effect of the neighbouring phosphonate group on the reactivities of carbene showed that the neighbouring phosphonate group exerts prominent effects on both the product distribution and the reaction products; the results are interpreted as indicating the extent of participation, which seems to be sensitive to the carbenic substituents.
