Abstract
The use of a planetary ball mill enables a solvent-free method for the addition of amines to dialkylacetylendicarboxylates or alkylpropiolates. Conversion of educts was quantitative within five minutes without use of any catalyst or base. Beside the E-/Z-isomers, no side products were formed.
