Organocopper(ii) complexes are a rarity while organocopper(i) complexes are commonplace in chemical synthesis. In the course of building a strategy to generate organocopper(ii) species utilizing electrochemistry, a method to form compounds with Cu II -C bonds was discovered, that demonstrated remarkably potent reactivity towards different functionalized alkenes under catalytic control. The role of the organocopper(ii) complex is to act as a source of masked radicals (in this case ˙CH 2 CN) that react with an alkene to generate the corresponding γ-halonitrile in good yields through atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) to various alkenes. The organocopper(ii) complexes can be continuously regenerated electrochemically for ATRA ( e ATRA), which proceeds at room temperature, under low Cu loadings (1-10 mol%) and with the possibility of Cu-catalyst recovery.
