23. All calculations were carried out using the B3LYP hybrid density functional method. The lithium cuprate models and the lithium-free models were studied in the gas phase and with solvent (THF) polarity, respectively (see Supporting Information for details).

25. We could also locate a syn-elimination TS, which was expectedly much less favored than the anti TS (Supporting Information).
