Abstract

Readily available and stable titanocene-alkyne complexes can be used for the hydroamination of internal and terminal alkynes. The reactions of terminal alkynes with aliphatic amines proceed highly selectively to give the corresponding primary anti-Markovnikov functionalized imines in good to excellent yields.
