The addition of aromatic amines to terminal acetylenes in the presence of catalytic amounts of mercury(II) chloride gives imines, enamines, and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline derivatives; mercury(II) acetate shows considerably less catalytic activity and may be used for the non-catalytic preparation of imines, enamines, N,N'-disubstituted acetamidines, and N,N-disubstituted acetamides.
