Organocopper chemistry is the study of the physical properties, reactions, and synthesis of organocopper compounds, which are organometallic compounds containing a carbon to copper chemical bond.[1][2][3] They are reagents in organic chemistry.
The first organocopper compound, the explosive copper(I) acetylide Cu2C2 (Cu−C≡C−Cu), was synthesized by Rudolf Christian Böttger in 1859 by passing acetylene gas through a solution of copper(I) chloride:[4]
C2H2 + 2 CuCl → Cu2C2 + 2 HCl
