FTP, name these reactive intermediates that are typically sp2 hybridized with a divalent carbon, an empty p orbital, and an unshared pair of electrons, making them electrically neutral.
This kind of compound is the last intermediate in the Bamford-Stevens reaction, and the foiled type of them is stabilized by the presence of a nearby double bond. In credit for his isolation of them, Arduengo's name is sometimes attached to the persistent, or stable kind of these compounds. Tebbe's reagent can react with a Lewis base to form the Schrock type of these, while another class of them can act like ketones and is named for Ernst Fischer. A common example is formed by reacting chloroform with a strong base, and they can add to alkenes to form stereo-specific cyclopropanes.
