The adducts obtained by reaction of Me3CuLi . LiI, tBuCu(CN)Li, and tBu(2)CuLi . LiCN with ynoates and ynones were characterized by determination of their C-13 NMR chemical shifts and C-13, C-13 coupling constants. Alkenyl-copper adducts were formed from ynoates and Me2CuLi . LiI or tBuCu(CN)Li, whereas allenolates are obtained from ynoates and tBu(2)CuLi . LiCN, as well as from ynones and Me2CuLi . LiI. The transformations can therefore be regarded as carbocupration of an alkyne rather than a Michael addition. The equilibrium between alkenylcuprates and allenolates can be shifted towards lithium allenolates by addition of organolithium compounds. In the case of adducts formed from Me2CuLi . LiI, isomerization of cis- to trans-alkenylcuprates via the corresponding allenolate can be prevented by removal of LiI or by the use of THF as solvent. Whereas the protonation of alkenylcuprates to the corresponding alkenes proceeds stereospecifically, it is difficult to control the steric course of the protonation of allenolates. Addition of chlorotrimethylsilane to the adducts gives silyl ketene acetals or enol ethers in all cases.
