Organocuprate (I) complexes are immensely valuable reagents for both industrial and research chemistry.[1] During the past few decades, heteroleptic organocuprates bearing alkynyl,[2a, b] cyano,[2c, d] phenylthio,[2e] and phosphino [2f, g] groups have secured an important place in organic synthesis. Organo-amidocuprates also represent an important class of heteroleptic cuprates in organic transformations, especially in stereoselective syntheses.[3] In this context, we have recently proposed new uses for amidocuprates, TMP-Cu-ates ([RCu (TMP)(CN) Li]; R= alkyl, phenyl, and TMP; TMP= 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidido), which promote the highly chemoselective, directed ortho cupration of multifunctionalized aromatic compounds under mild conditions. The aryl cuprate intermediate can be employed not only in the trapping of electrophlies, but also in oxidative ligand coupling to form new CÀC bonds with alkyl/aryl groups or to introduce a hydroxy group (Scheme 1).[4–6] Organocuprate (I) chemistry is dominated by two structure types: the Gilman-type and the Lipshutz-type.[7] The basic diorganocuprate (I) unit in each adopts a linear [R-Cu-R] arrangement. Gilman-type species are known to exhibit homodimeric structures (Scheme2a). Theoretical predictions [8] of a preference for head-to-tail dimerization of heteroleptic cuprates have been confirmed by the structure of [MesCu (NBn2) Li](Mes= mesityl, Bn= benzyl),[9] although monomer formation has been recorded in the presence of a Lewis base.[10] In contrast, Lipshutz-type reagents exhibit heteroaggregate structures(Scheme 2 b).[2d, 11] The reactivity of Lipshutz-type cuprates ([RCuR’Li· LiCN]) is frequently higher than that of the corresponding Gilman-type reagents ([RCuR’Li]).[12] To elucidate what types of cuprates are involved in directed ortho cupration we have performed detailed mechanistic investigations, including X-ray analysis and a computational study. This led to the emergence of a monomeric Gilman-type structure (Scheme 2c), a related structure to which has been previously revealed,[5] as the unprecedented, active species for the directed deprotonation. The starting point of our investigation was the analysis of a bis (amido) cuprate in the solid state to draw comparisons with the known X-ray structure of the product formed from the reaction of CuCN and LiTMP, namely
