The addition of amines to nitriles catalyzed by ytterbium amides gives
monosubstituted N-arylamidinates in good to excellent yields at 100°C
under solvent-free conditions.

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.
