Organocoppers organometallics

Generally, organocopper compounds can be prepared by transmetallation between copper salts and organometallic reagents such as RLi, RMgX, and RZnX.53,53a,53b Copper alkynides can be obtained by reaction of terminal alkynes... 

Organocopper chemistry remains a mainstay of organic synthesis because of the range of copper-promoted transformations on offer and because it is often complementary to palladium chemistry and alkali and alkaline earth organometallic...

Another very important method for adding a carbon chain at the -carbon of a,jS-unsaturated carbonyl system involves organometallic reagents, particularly organocopper intermediates. This reaction will be discussed in Chapter 8.
