Copper-mediated allylic substitution reactions are widely used in organic synthesis, whereas the analogous reactions for silver and gold are essentially unknown. To unravel why this is the case, the gas-phase reactions of allyl iodide with the coinage metal dimethylmetallates, [CH3MCH3]− (M = Cu, Ag...
