The organocopper craftsman's toolset is nearly complete with recent advances in ligand‐based catalytic organocopper chemistry, which make viable enantioselective 1,4‐conjugate additions and S N 2′ substitutions of allylic halides using Grignard, RZnCl, and organoaluminum reagents (see scheme) at low loadings of copper( I ) salts.
