Ethyl copper is an organometallic compound of copper metal with the formula CuC₂H₅. It can be prepared by the reaction of ethylmagnesium bromide with an ethereal solution of copper(I) iodide at -18 °C:^{[citation needed]}

CuI + C₂H₅MgBr → CuC₂H₅ + MgBrI

Ethyl copper forms green crystals and decomposes easily.
