Carbenes are important and highly reactive intermediates for the synthesis of various complex mols. They are now an indispensable chem. species in organic chem. and are used frequently to synthesize complex compounds in drug discovery chem. In general, carbenes are synthesized by a combination of transition metal catalysts and diazo compounds or by the decomposition reactions of diazo compounds This paper reports the development of visible light-initiated photochem. generation of carbenes from novel C,Se-selenonium ylides I (R = Me, Bn, R1 = H, R2 = H, OMe, NO2, R1R2 = -CH:CH-CH:CH-). Overall, this photochem. carbene generation method using C,Se-selenonium ylides does not require a catalyst, is simple to perform, and enables highly efficient cyclopropanation reactions with alkenes, e.g., H2C=CHR3 (R3 = Ph, 2-naphthyl, COMe, etc.).
