TL;DR: The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through one-electron or two-Electron processes, which feature confer a remarkably broad range of activities allowing copper to catalyze the oxidation and oxidative union of many substrates.

TL;DR: The chemistry of copper is extremely rich because it can easily access Cu0, CuI, CuII, and CuIII oxidation states allowing it to act through oneelectron or two-electron processes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The resultant process provides a mild and convenient entry to nitroethylated products, which are versatile precursors to β,γ-unsaturated carbonyls, homoallylic amines, and nitrile oxides.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-carbon homologation of vinyl triflates and bromides for the synthesis of homoally-lic nitro products is described, which exploits the anion stabilizing and leaving group properties of nitromethane.
