amidocarbenes
Amidocarbenes are a class of organic compounds characterized by a divalent carbon atom bonded to a nitrogen atom and two other substituents. This divalent carbon is often referred to as a carbene center. The general structure can be represented as R1R2C(NR3R4), where R1 and R2 are typically hydrogen or organic groups, and R3 and R4 are hydrogen or organic groups attached to the nitrogen. They are related to carbenes and nitrenes, exhibiting similar reactivity due to the electron-deficient nature of the carbene carbon.
The synthesis of amidocarbenes can be achieved through various methods, including the deprotonation of amides or
Amidocarbenes play a role in several organic transformations, including the synthesis of heterocycles and the formation
