Carbene dimerization is a type of organic reaction in which two carbene or carbenoid precursors react in a formal dimerization to an alkene. This reaction is often considered an unwanted side-reaction but it is also investigated as a synthetic tool. In this reaction type either the two carbenic intermediates react or a carbenic intermediate reacts with a carbene precursor . An early pioneer was Christoph Grundmann reporting on a carbene dimerisation in 1938 . In the domain of persistent carbenes the Wanzlick equilibrium describes an equillibrium between a carbene and its alkene.
