Abstract

A simple, rapid, one-pot synthesis of arylaminomethyl acetylenes is achieved under microwave-assisted conditions (power = 5 W) using aromatic boronic acids, aqueous ammonia, propargyl halides, copper(I) oxide and water as the solvent. The reactions are complete within ten minutes affording good to excellent yields of the products.
