Answer:
The formation of carbenes by way of electrically charged, or ionic, intermediates is exemplified by the reaction of chloroform with a strong base, potassium tert-butoxide. In the first step of this reaction, a proton or hydrogen ion (H+) is removed from the chloroform molecule in a normal acid–base reaction.
Explanation:
In chemistry, a carbene is a molecule containing a neutral carbon atom with a valence of two and two unshared valence electrons. ... Carbenes are classified as either singlets or triplets, depending upon their electronic structure. Most carbenes are very short lived, although persistent carbenes are known.
