In this review, the coupling of two carbene precursors for the synthesis of alkenes is surveyed. The key to selective carbene coupling is the difference in the rate of carbene generation between the two carbene precursors. This strategy requires judicious selection between two carbene precursors as well as fine‐tuning of reaction conditions to obtain the desired chemo‐ and stereoselectivity. These...
