%X Fair to moderate yields of insertion products of dichloro- and dibromo- carbenes can be achieved from aqueous reaction mixtures using the phase transfer method. Insertions are very selective; benzylic, tertiary C-H bonds of hydrocarbons and &#945;-C-H bonds of ethers are particularly reactive. The convenience of this method makes it potentially attractive for certain synthetic applications.
