โฆ Synopsis
It has been demonstrated by means of spectroscopic studies involving cyclizable alkyl halides that lithium dimethylcuprate can react with organic halides by a single electron transfer pathway. The reaction of lithium diorganocuprates (LiCuR2) with alkyl halides is of major synthetic imp0rtance.l
