Mannich reactions of alkynes: mechanistic insights and the role of sub-stoichiometric amounts of alkynylcopper(I) compounds in the catalytic cycle

Yellow polymeric alkynylcopper(I) compounds observed in the three-component Mannich reactions of alkynes, secondary amines and aldehydes are shown to be pre-catalysts that give rise to catalytic copper(I) alkyne complexes by interaction with secondary amines (see scheme). Interaction of these comple...
