The past two decades have witnessed remarkable developments concerning the use of organocuprates as tools in synthetic organic chemistry, 1 particularly instereoselective synthesis. 2 Whereas the 1, 4-addition to enones and enoates is still the most important reaction of cuprates, 1^ the synthetic potential of conjugate cuprate additions has recently been extendedby the 1, 6-and1, 8-addition reactions to 2-en-4-ynoates and 2, 4-dien-6-ynoates, respectively, which open a versatile access to richly functionalized alienes. 3 From the mechanistic point of view, these reactions exhibit striking similarities: in all cases,-complexes of the cuprate at the CC double bond adjacent to the carbonyl function are formed, as has been shownby different groups4 for 1, 4-addition and by us5 for 1, 6-and1, 8-addition reactions. The structural assignment of these-complexes is based on the chemical shifts observed in their 13C-NMRspectra: coordination of a copper atom with the-system induces large upfleld shifts for the resonances of the CC double bond, whereas an interaction of a lithium atom of the cuprate cluster with the carbonyl oxygen atom causes small downfield shifts of the carbonyl resonances. 4-6 These investigations, however, are unsatisfactory with regard to two prob-lems:(i) it is difficult to draw conclusions about the bonding situation (bonding order, hybridization) of the complexed Michael acceptor from chemical shifts and (ii) no information about the structure of the cuprate part of the-complexes could be obtained. In view of these difficulties and of the importance of the-complex formation for the mechanismand consequently the stereoselec-tivities of conjugate cuprate additions, we sought to gain additional information aboutthe structure of cuprate-complexes by determination of13C, 13C coupling constants, sincethese are known to be very sensitive toward the bonding situation. 7 To the best of our knowledge, no investigations of this type have been reported so far. 8
