The hydroamination of terminal alkynes (RC CH = phenylacetylene, 4-methylphenylacetylene, 4-fluorophenylacetylene, 1-hexyne, methyl 2propynyl ether, prop-2-yn-1-ol) with secondary amines (piperidine, pyrrolidine, morpholine, piperazine, methylpiperazine, 4-methylpiperidine and 3methylpiperidine) was achieved in high yield (up to 99%), regioselectivity (only anti-Markovnikov product) and stereoselectivity (only E-isomers) within a maximum of 5 h in reactions catalyzed by the tungsten tetracarbonyl complex cis-[W(CO) 4 (piperidine) 2 ] at 908C without any additional solvent.
Efficient and Selective Synthesis of E-Vinylamines via Tungsten(0)-Catalyzed Hydroamination of Terminal Alkynes. -The title reaction applies to both terminal arylalkynes and alkylalkynes, but alkylalkynes gives poor to moderate yields [e.g. (IV)]. The reaction is limited to secondary amines because the primary amines show very low reactivity under comparable reaction conditions. -(KOCIECKA, P.; CZELUSNIAK, I.; SZYMANSKA-BUZAR*, T.; Adv. Synth.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
