A novel efficient method for synthesis of propargylamines via three-component coupling of aryl azide, aldehyde, and alkyne promoted by iron-iodine-copper(I) bromide

A novel, efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of propargylamines through a three-component coupling of aryl azides, aldehydes, and alkynes in the presence of iron-iodine-copper(I) bromide as catalyst. This method is the first example for directly using aryl azides as an amino component in a three-component coupling reaction. Some of the major advantages of this protocol are: good yields, the involvement of a less-expensive and non-toxic catalyst, mild reaction conditions, and a wide range of substrates.

The beta-acetamido carbonyl compounds derived from 2-carbomethoxybenzaldehyde are useful intermediates as they can be transformed to the corresponding gamma-lactams on treatment with base.
