Rapid-injection NMR experiments with 2-cyclohexenone, TMSCl, and Me2CuLi center dot LiCN by the Bertz and Ogle team (Bertz, S. H.; Cope, S.; Murphy, M.; Ogle, C. A.; Taylor, B. J. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2007, 129, 7208-7209) have led to the observation of a new product-forming conjugate addition intermediate characterized by H-1 and C-13 NMR at -100 degrees C. By employing conformational analysis, density functional theory (DFT) optimization, and prediction of NMR observables (delta (TMS), (2)J), the structure of the observed species is confirmed to be the elusive and long sought tetracoordinate square-planar Cu(III) intermediate. Additional calculations suggest that symmetrical or unsymmetrical tetraalkyl analogues ([R4Cu](-1)) are inherently more stable than the CN analogues ([R3CuCN](-1)) and may be isolable.
