All manipulations were performed using standard Schlenk and highvacuum techniques 1 or in a nitrogen-filled dry box, unless otherwise noted. Solvents were distilled from Na/benzophenone or CaH 2. All reagents were used as received from commercial vendors unless otherwise noted. Aluminum oxide (activated, neutral, Brockmann I, ~150 mesh) and Celite were dried at 200 C under vacuum for two days prior to use. 1 H NMR spectra were recorded at ambient temperature (unless otherwise noted) on a Varian Oxford 300 MHz spectrometer and referenced to residual proton solvent peaks. 31 P spectra were recorded on the Varian Oxford spectrometer operating at 121 MHz and referenced to an 85 % phosphoric acid external standard set to 0 ppm. 19 F spectra were recorded on the Varian Oxford spectrometer operating at 282 MHz and were referenced to CFCl 3 set to zero. A Rigaku SCXMini diffractometer was used for X-ray structure determinations. Preparation of (IPr-TMS)CuCF 3 (2): To a solution of (IPr)CuOtBu (1) (0.525 g, 1.0 mmol) in THF (7 ml) was added 295 ul of CF 3 Si(CH 3 ) 3 (2.0 mmol) and the resulting reaction mixture was stirred for 24 h at ambient temperature. The mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a pale pink solid. NMR yield of 2:2b was quantitative (82:18 of 2:2b). Recrystallization from toluene/pentane gave 2 as a colorless solid. 1 H NMR (CD2Cl2): δ 0.02 (s, 9H, Si(CH 3 ) 3 ), 1.23 (d, J = 6.9 Hz, 12H, CH(CH 3 ) 2 ), 1.29 (d, J = 6.9 Hz, 12H, CH(CH 3 ) 2 ), 2.47 (hept., J = 6.9 Hz, 4H, CH(CH 3 ) 2 ), 7.15 (s, 1H), 7.3 (d, J = 7.1 Hz, 4H), 7.5 (m, 2H). 19 F NMR (C 6 D 6 ): -33.3 (s).

The filtrate was evaporated under high vacuum, and the white residue was washed with pentane and filtered. Yield 64 %. 1 H NMR (CD 2 Cl 2 ): δ 1.23 (d, J = 6.9 Hz, 12H), 3.48 (s, 4H), 4.34 (sept., J = 6.9 Hz, 2H). [(SIiPr)CuO-t-Bu] 2 (5): A suspension of (SIiPr)CuCl (2 g, 7.9 mmol) t-buok (886.5 mg, 7.9 mmol) in 30 ml THF was stirred 2h at room temperature then filtered through a pad of Celite and washed 2 times with 7 ml of THF. The filtrate was evaporated under high vacuum. The white residue was washed with pentane and filtered. Complex 5 is thermally unstable and decomposes at room temperature in ~2 hours. Storage for days at -30 C is possible, but typically 5 was used immediately for further reactions. Yield 69 %. 1 H NMR (THF-d 8 ): δ 1.19 (s, 9H), 1.30 (s broad, 12H), 3.55 (s broad, 4H), 4.63 (s broad, 2H). S3

The volatiles were then evaporated on a high vacuum line. The off-white oily residue was washed two times with 5 ml of pentane.

THF Method B: A resealable NMR tube was charged with complex 6 (11.5 mg, 0.04 mmol), internal standard (5 ul), organic halide (0.2 mmol) and 1 ml THF and kept at room temperature under nitrogen. Yields were monitored by NMR spectroscopy. DMF Method (Table 1 in text): (SIiPr)CuOtBu (73 mg, 0.251 mmol), 2 eq. of CF 3 Si(CH 3 ) 3, std. (30 μl, 0.24 mmol) were dissolved in 6 ml DMF. 1 ml aliquots (0.042 mmol of the resulting solution were taken for each reaction and 5 eq. of corresponding RHal (0.21 mmol) was added. The solutions were stirred under N 2 at room temperature. S6
