Ecologically sound chemistry relies on the development of new, environmentally friendly synthetic methods in which few toxic substances are used. Copper powder was found to be a suitable initiator for the addition in Equation (a) (R 1 , R 2 = H, alkyl, (CH 2 ) n COOMe). This initiator is not only cheap but also nontoxic, easily removed, and readily recyclable.
