Since the pioneering work of Gilman et al., who carried out the first investigations into organocopper compounds RCu [1] and lithium diorganocuprates R2CuLi [2], the latter reagents (still referred to even today as Gilman reagents) have been becoming widespread among organometallic reagents used for carbon-carbon bond formation. In particular, the seminal work of House et al. and Corey et al. has served to establish organocuprates as the reagents of choice not only for substitution reactions of many saturated (haloalkanes, acid chlorides, oxiranes) and unsaturated (allylic and propargylic derivatives) electrophiles, but also for 1, 4-addition reactions to α,/-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and, last but not least, for carbocuprations of non-activated alkynes [3]. In these processes, the unique reactivity of organocuprates relies on the interplay of the ‘‘soft’’, nucleophilic copper and the ‘‘hard’’, electrophilic lithium ion, offering control over reactivity and selectivity through ‘‘fine-tuning’’of the reagent. Most of the tremendous achievements in various fields of organocopper chemistry over the last few decades are highlighted in this book. These include the elucidation of the structures of organocopper compounds [4] and the mechanism of their transformations [5](Chapts. 1 and 10), new copper-mediated and copper-catalyzed processes [6](Chapts. 2, 3, and 5), diastereoselective reactions (Chapt. 6), and highly enantioselective substitution and conjugate addition reactions [7](Chapts. 7 and 8). The high standards attained in these fields are documented in numerous applications of copper-promoted transformations in total synthesis (Chapt. 9).As far as substrates are concerned, while the usual 1, 4-addition and 1, 3-substitution (SN20) reactions of simple unsaturated substrates have so far predominated, analogous transformations of ambident substrates with extended multiple bond systems (ie, with two or more reactive positions) have come to attention only recently. Here, systematic investigations have shown that such 1, 5-substitutions and even 1, 6-and 1, 8-addition reactions proceed highly regioselectively and stereoselectively, in particular when the substrate contains at least one triple bond besides one or more conjugated double bonds. These unusual reaction types not
