A copper(I) complex of i-Pr-pybox-diPh efficiently catalyzes the enantioselective one-pot three-component synthesis of propargylamines from aromatic aldehydes, anilines, and alkynes. A transition-state model has been proposed.

A wide range of chiral propargylamines can be prepared in a one-pot three-component reaction between an alkyne, an aldehyde and a secondary amine at room temperature in the presence of CuBr and (R)-quinap in good yield and good enantioselectivity. Remarkably, the copper-catalyzed reaction is highly diastereoselective if a chiral amine or aldehyde is used.

A highly efficient gold-catalyzed three-component-coupling of aldehydes, alkynes, and amines in water was developed. Excellent yields of the corresponding propargylamines were obtained in most cases for both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes and various amines.

A novel InBr3-Et3N reagent system promotes the alkynylation of not only a variety of aromatic/heterocyclic or bulky aliphatic aldehydes but also N,O- or N,S-acetals. The reaction of N-silyl-N,O-acetals with 1-alkynes gives primary propargylic amines in good yields.

A simple and effective copper-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of dimethylanilines with alkynes in the presence of tert-BuOOH allows the construction of propargylamines via a combination of sp3 C-H bond and sp C-H bond activations followed by C-C bond formation.

Highly enantioselective direct alkyne-imine additions catalyzed by Cu(I)OTf and Evan's pybox ligands were developed in water and in toluene. The process is simple and allows the synthesis of various propargylic amines in high ees and good yields.

Propargylamines have been synthesized by a gold(III) salen complex-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes in water in excellent yields at 40°C. With chiral prolinol derivatives as the amine component, excellent diastereoselectivities have been attained.

MgI2 as an additive enables a dramatic improvement in the [IrCl(COD)]2-catalyzed addition reaction of silylacetylenes and imines. This general and convenient reaction provides various amine products in excellent yields and can be conducted in THF as well as in the absence of solvent.

A highly enantioselective, catalytic three-component coupling of aldehydes, alkynes, and 4-piperidone hydrochloride hydrate affords the corresponding tertiary propargylamines in useful yields. A selective cleavage of the piperidone protecting group is possible using either ammonia/EtOH or a polymer-supported scavenger amine.

The three-component coupling of aldehyde, alkyne and amines is catalyzed by silver iodide to generate propargylic amines in high yields in water without cocatalyst or activator. This method is especially effective for reactions involving aliphatic aldehydes.

Treatment of various aromatic and aliphatic aldimines with a mixture of a terminal alkynes and dimethylzinc solution in toluene yields the corresponding protected propargylic amines in moderate to excellent yields. A three-component synthesis of propargylic amines with an aldehyde, ortho-methoxyaniline and phenylacetylene through in situ formation of the corresponding imine in the presence of dimethylzinc was developed.

A rapid copper-catalyzed three-component coupling of imines with alkynes and acid chlorides to prepare propargylamides is described. The use of chloroformates instead of acid chlorides allows the preparation of N-carbamate-protected propargylamines.

A mild, copper(I)/Quinap-catalyzed addition of functionalized alkynes to enamines in high yields and with up to 90% ee is reported. Some selective transformations of the propargylamine products show the potential synthetic utility of this method.
