51. Most of the transformations reported in Table 2 worked in the presence of catalytic amount of copper salt. However, longer reaction time was required with reduced yields of coupling product.
52. The structure of 5i was confirmed by NOE experiment.
53. Preliminary experiments indicate that anilines could be cyclopropylated under established conditions. However, no cyclopropylated product was isolated when N-methyl benzylamine was submitted to the identical reaction conditions. We are working towards the optimization of these reactions and the results will be reported in due course.

57. One referee pointed out that the presence of a tiny amount of oxygen in the reaction media might serve to oxidize the copper salt. We are working to understand this coupling process. However, we note that the reactions performed under argon atmosphere provided indeed the reproducible results with several different substrates.
