25. Copper(II)/copper(I) redox equilibrium is dependent on other redox couple(s) in the reaction mixture. Therefore, there is always a certain level of copper(I) presence under any circumstance. For example, in water, copper(I) may exist at ppb level per mole of copper(II) as estimated using the Nerst equation. An extremely low level of copper(I) salt may indeed do wonders. Buchwald, S. L.; Bolm, C. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2009, 48, 5586. However, the reactivity that we observed under the copper(II)-promoted conditions that is comparable to or even higher than those under the typical copper(I)-catalyzed conditions cannot be simply explained by the extremely high reactivity of a miniscule amount of copper(I) contaminant. Furthermore, we and others have presented evidence for the transformation of copper(II) to copper(I) over the course of a copper(II)-accelerated CuAAC reaction

72. The details of this step remain unclear. On the basis of the suggestion by Stahl et al. that a copper(III) acetylide be involved, we envision that structure III may undergo disproportionation (or electron transfer) to afford transient copper(III) and copper(I) acetylides, which subsequently couple to afford a diyne and two copper(I) centers.
