Efficient and general procedures for the cross-coupling of 1,1-dibromoalkenes and N-, O-, and P-nucleophiles are reported. Fine-tuning of the reaction conditions allows for either site-selective, double, or alkynylative cross-coupling, therefore providing divergent and straightforward entries to numerous building blocks such as bromoenamides, ynamides, ketene N,N-acetals, bromoenol ethers, ynol ethers, ketene O,O-acetals, or vinylphosphonates and further expanding the copper catalysis toolbox with useful and versatile processes.
