Halodiazirines as Valuable Reagents for the Synthesis of Halocyclo­propanes

This short review is dedicated to Prof. Alain Krief on the occasion of his 80^th birthday.

Abstract

Halodiazirines have emerged as very useful reagents in photochemically or thermally mediated cyclopropanation reactions with alkenes. This short review highlights the synthetic applications of these reagents as precursors of halocarbenes in transformations with various alkenes.
