Abstract

Abstract: Highly reactive copper solutions have been prepared by the direct reduction of lithium 2-thienylcyanocuprate. Product isolation was much easier using the thienyl-based organocopper reagents as opposed to phosphine-based organocopper reagents. ... We have previously reported that highly reactive copper ... In our search for a more reactive copper solution that did not ... 2-thienylcyanocuprate to form higher-order mixed organocuprates
