The Reaction Mechanism of the Cu(I) Catalyzed Alkylation of Heterosubstituted Alkynes

Alkynes may be regioselectively alkylated to alkenes by organocopper reagents in a reaction known as “carbocupration”, where an alkylCu(I) binds to the alkyne and transfers its organic moiety to one of the alkyne carbon atoms. Alkynes hetero-substituted with third-row elements yield alkenes with a r...
