Do Gilman reagents react with ketones?

Do Gilman reagents react with ketones? Gilman reagents (organocuprates) perform two reactions that Grignard reagents (and organolithiums) do not: They perform conjugate additions to α,β unsaturated ketones. They are effective nucleophiles for SN2 reactions. What can Gilman reagents react with? Gilman Reagents Organolithium reagents react with cuprous iodide to give Read more…
