A new Csp 3 –Csp bond forming reaction is reported: the C=N bond of widespread imines reacts with acetylene gas in the presence of superbase KO t Bu/DMSO at room temperature to afford terminal α‐aminoacetylenes in up to 94 % yield. The reaction allows nitrogen heterocycles, e.g. 3H‐indoles, to be directly cross‐coupled with acetylene gas.

The transformation uses superbase KOtBu in DMSO at room temperature.

Imines (C=N bonds) undergoing addition of acetylene gas promoted by superbase KOtBu/DMSO

Formation of Csp3–Csp bonds yielding terminal α‑aminoacetylenes via superbase‑promoted addition of acetylene to imine C=N bonds, including direct cross‑coupling of nitrogen heterocycles (e.g., 3H‑indoles) with acetylene gas and associated yields
