A highly efficient, mild, copper-catalyzed multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of N-sulfonylamidines has been developed. This reaction has an extremely wide scope with regard to all three coupling components of alkyne, sulfonyl azide, and amine. Two plausible mechanistic pathways are discussed.
