A3 coupling reaction

The A3 coupling (also known as A3 coupling reaction or the aldehyde-alkyne-amine reaction) is a type of multicomponent reaction involving an aldehyde, an alkyne and an amine which react to give a propargyl-amine.[1][2][3][4] The reaction proceeds via direct dehydrative condensation[3] and requires a metal catalyst, typically based on ruthenium/copper, gold or silver.[3] Chiral catalyst can be used to give an enantioselective reaction, yielding a chiral amine. The solvent can be water.[3] In the catalytic cycle the metal activates the alkyne to a metal acetylide, the amine and aldehyde combine to form an imine which then reacts with the acetylide in an nucleophilic addition.[3] The reaction type was independently reported by three research groups in 2001 -2002;[5][6][7] one report on a similar reaction dates back to 1953.[8][9]

Decarboxylative A3 reaction

One variation is called the decarboxylative A3 coupling.[10] In this reaction the amine is replaced by an amino acid. The imine can isomerise and the alkyne group is placed at the other available nitrogen alpha position.[10][11][12] This reaction requires a copper catalyst. The redox A3 coupling has the same product outcome but the reactants are again an aldehyde, an amine and an alkyne as in the regular A3 coupling.[10][13][14][15]
