Abstract
Although transition metal carbenes have found widespread applications and difluorocarbene has served as a versatile intermediate, it is still quite challenging to make use of transition-metal difluorocarbenes in synthetic chemistry due to their unpredictable reactivities. In this Highlight, we review recent developments in the transition-metal-catalyzed or -mediated transfer of difluorocarbene and the reactivies and conversions of transition-metal difluorocarbene complexes. We start with the MCF2 bonding, then provide the progress in the transfer of difluorocarbene, and finally briefly discuss the conversions of MCF2 into other metal complexes. The understanding of the interesting reactivities of MCF2 may help design the catalytic transfer of difluorocarbene for various reactions.
