Formation of a New Bis-Organocopper Reagent from the Reaction of 2,3-Dichloropropene and Highly Active Zero Valent Copper Derived from a CuCN*2LiCl Complex

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)60989-9

Highly reactive zero valent copper derived from a CuCN*2LiCl complex reacts directly with 2,3-dichloropropene to yield a new bis-organocopper species containing both a nucleophilic allylic and vinylic moiety.This new bis-organocopper reagent undergoes selective one-pot addition to two different electrophiles in good to excellent yields.
