A versatile approach to the valorization of propargylic alcohols is reported, enabling controlled access to three different products from the same starting materials. First, a general method for the hydroamination of propargylic alcohols with anilines is described using gold catalysis to give 3-hydroxyimines with complete regioselectivity. These 3-hydroxyimines can be reduced to give 1,3-amino alcohols with high syn selectivity. Alternatively, by using a catalytic quantity of aniline, 3-hydroxyketones can be obtained in high yield directly from propargylic alcohols. Further manipulation of the reaction conditions enables the selective formation of 3-aminoketones via a rearrangement/hydroamination pathway. The utility of the new chemistry was exemplified by the one-pot synthesis of a selection of N-arylpyrrolidines and N-arylpiperidines. A mechanism for the hydroamination has been proposed on the basis of experimental studies and density functional theory calculations.

An efficient one-pot process to construct a series of polyfunctionalized propargylic alcohol derivatives from the simple materials without functional protection was investigated. A solution of nBuLi in hexane was added into dry THF by syringe the resulting solution was then maintained at RT for 3 hours. the freshly prepared lithium enolate of acetaldehyde was used directly in the reaction. The nBuLi was added over a period of 30 minutes by syringe to a solution of terminal alkyne in THF at -30°C. The scope and limitations of the reaction was explored by examining other terminal alkynes. A number of different carbonyl-containing substrates were also examined. It was observed that propargylic alcohol derivatives are important synthetic intermediates in organic synthesis.
