Charette's reaction enantioselectively prepares chiral compounds of this type from allylic alcohols using the ligand dioxaborolane. One reaction creating this group requires a namesake reagent which was been variously synthesized by Emschwiller, Wittig, who used diazomethane, and Furukawa, who used an alkyl-exchange reaction involving an 1,1-di-halo-alkane. That reaction produces norcarane when the starting material is cyclohexene, and uses a copper zinc couple to add a carbene to an alkene. The bonds in this molecule can be described with sp two hybridization according to Walsh. This product of the Simmons-Smith Reaction was first predicted by Baeyer to be characterized by a high angle strain. FTP, name this cyclic alkane consisting of three carbon atoms.
