Copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions, such as [3+2] cycloaddition of organic azides with terminal alkynes (CuAAC), unsaturated compounds with isocyanides, and nitrones with alkynes (Kinugasa reaction), are important methods for the constructions of different types of nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Great progresses have been achieved in such transformations and widely applied in various fields of organic syntheses. In these cycloaddition reactions, similar organocopper(I) intermediates are generated in situ, and can be trapped with additional electrophiles for further tandem or one-pot transformations. The development of the strategy to trap organocopper(I) intermediates in these reactions provides practical and efficient methods for the construction of multisubstituted or fused nitrogen-containing heterocycles. The advances in this area are summarized in this review: (1) trapping organocopper(I) intermediates in CuAAC reaction; (2) trapping organocopper(I) intermediates in the [3+2] cycloaddition of isocyanides with electron-deficient alkynes; (3) trapping enolate organocopper(I) intermediates in Kinugasa reaction. The review may be helpful for researchers to better understand the development and limitations for the trapping of organocopper(I) intermediates.
