Organocopper compound is a term used in chemistry to describe a complex molecule consisting of copper and organic compounds. Synonyms for organocopper compound include copper organic, copper organics, and copper carbonyl. Other variations of the term are also used depending on the specific type of organic compound bonding with the copper. For example, copper alkoxides are formed when copper reacts with alcohols, whereas copper acetylides are formed by the reaction with acetylene. These compounds have gained significant importance in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries due to their catalytic properties and ability to act as reagents in synthetic organic chemistry.
