Phenyl copper is an organometallic chemical compound of copper .

Extraction and presentation

Phenyl copper was the first known organocopper compound and was first produced by Reich in 1923 from phenylmagnesium iodide and copper (I) iodide and in 1936 by Henry Gilman by transmetalation of phenyl magnesium iodide with copper (I) chloride .

Phenyl copper can be obtained by reacting phenyllithium with copper (I) bromide in ether.

properties

Phenyl copper is a colorless solid that is soluble in pyridine . It can be stored undecomposed for a few days under nitrogen or in a vacuum . Rapid decomposition occurs in air. Water decomposes with the formation of red copper (I) oxide and varying amounts of benzene and biphenyl . It forms stable complexes with tributyl and triphenyl phosphine.

Phenyl copper is an oligomer in solid form. It is dissolved in dimethyl sulfide as a mixture of the trimer and the tetramer .
