Unravelling the hidden link of lithium halides and application in the synthesis of organocuprates

Organocopper species are widely used in synthetic chemistry. Here the authors study the structure of the anionic complex formed from copper salts and lithium halides, showing it to be a key intermediate in the formation of organocuprates, and also show that Cu(II) precursors can form Gilman reagents...
