very little is known about their cross-reaction—the addition of a radical to a carbene to yield
a new radical. This is mainly due to the generally short lifetime of these species which
normally prevents the build up of sufficiently high concentrations of both species in the same
reaction vessel. This situation has changed with the synthesis of stable carbenes 1.[1b] Yet,
except for a single study on the addition of a muonium to 1,[2] very little is known on this …
