Abstract
Organocopper(I) compounds and organocuprates are very versatile reagents the use of which in organic syntheses is in many cases advantageous over that of the usual organometallic compounds. Organocopper(I) compounds and organocuprates have been studied mainly in the last decades and years, respectively. Their use in preparative chemistry is still based on empirical facts and the reaction mechanisms have hitherto been relatively little studied. In this survey, the preparation and reactions of organocopper(l) compounds and organocuprates are discussed. The emphasis is on the conditions that influence the course of the reactions. The choice of the solvent and the addition of salts or complexing agents, as well as the nature of the reaction components play an important role. 1.
