were determined after the calibration; decane was the internal
standard.

Notes and references
z General procedure for amine alkynylation: in an ACE-pressure tube
under an argon atmosphere the Shvo catalyst (0.01 mmol) and
silylacetylene (1 mmol) were dissolved in the corresponding amine
(1 mL). The tube was fitted with a Teflon cap and heated at 150 1C for
24 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuum, and the
products were isolated by column chromatography. The compounds
