In the previous tutorial we learned about carbenes. So now that we understand their properties, we are ready to learn about what we can do with them. Three major uses of carbenes involve cyclopropanation, C-H insertion, and the...

How to assign absolute configuration to alkenes.

How can we go from one type of alkene to another? In three steps precisely? Use the reactions you know and figure it out! (Hint: Think about addition reactions, elimination reactions, and hydrogenations!)
