Abstract
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.
