This review summarizes transformations using copper hydride (Cu-H), boryl copper (Cu-B) or silyl copper (Cu-Si) as active catalyst species. Semihydrogenation, hydroboration, and hydrocarboxylation have been developed using Cu-H as active catalyst species. Preferential reduction of sterically hindered ketones is accompanied by Cu-H species bearing a bowl-shaped phosphine as a crucial ligand.

DFT calculations were performed to investigate the detailed reaction mechanisms in the copper-catalyzed regiodivergent silacarboxylation of allenes. According to our calculations, the catalysis would bifurcate at the allene silylcupration step, followed by CO2 insertion, eventually leading to the carboxylated vinylsilane or allylsilane products. The gaps between the two silylcupration barriers were predicted to be -2.

A regiodivergent silacarboxylation of allenes under a CO2 atmosphere with PhMe2Si-B(pin) as a silicon source in the presence of a copper catalyst at 70 °C has been developed. The regioselectivity of the reaction is successfully reversed by the proper choice of ligand; carboxylated vinylsilanes are obtained with rac-Me-DuPhos as the ligand, whereas the use of PCy3 affords carboxylated allylsilanes. Thus, two different carboxylated silanes can be selectively and regiodivergently synthesized from a single allene substrate.
