32. The involvement of (π-allyl)copper(III) species, which are key intermediates in allylic substitution with diorganocuprates, is unlikely. The neutral boryl-copper species (B) should be less reactive toward oxidative addition than anionic diorganocuprates owing to lower nucleophilicity. See: Yamanaka, M.; Kato, S.; Nakamura, E. J. Am.
