Zinc(II)-catalyzed synthesis of propargylamines by coupling aldimines and ketimines with alkynes

A Zn-II-catalyzed reaction between imines, which were derived from unactivated aldehydes or ketones and primary amines or -amino acid esters, and terminal alkynes has led to the rapid and efficient formation of tri- and tetrasubstituted propargylamines (from aldimines and ketimines, respectively) in good to excellent yields. No additives or extra Lewis acid reagents were required for the imine-alkyne coupling reaction.
