Copper-catalyzed domino synthesis of ynamines

Org Biomol Chem. 2021 Sep 22;19(36):7855-7860. doi: 10.1039/d1ob01383a.

Abstract

The hitherto unexplored N-alkynylation of electron-withdrawing or protecting group free N-heteroarenes such as indole, carbazole and pyrrole was developed using gem-dibromoalkenes to synthesize ynamines under ligand-free copper-catalyzed domino conditions. The development methodology of ynamines was also applied in the synthesis of enynamines, multi-coupled bis-ynamines, tris-ynamines, and the natural product peyonine, demonstrating its broad synthetic scope and applications.
