Recent Advances in the Addition of Amide/Sulfonamide Bonds to Alkynes

The addition of amide/sulfonamide bonds to alkynes is not only one of the most important strategies for the direct functionalization of carbon–carbon triple bonds, but also a powerful tool for the downstream transformations of amides/sulfonamides. The present review provides a comprehensiv...

Description
Summary:The addition of amide/sulfonamide bonds to alkynes is not only one of the most important strategies for the direct functionalization of carbon–carbon triple bonds, but also a powerful tool for the downstream transformations of amides/sulfonamides. The present review provides a comprehensive summary of amide/sulfonamide bond addition to alkynes, including direct and metal-free aminoacylation, based-promoted aminoacylation, transition-metal-catalyzed aminoacylation, organocatalytic aminoacylation and transition-metal-catalyzed aminosulfonylation of alkynes up to December 2018. The reaction conditions, regio- and stereoselectivities, and mechanisms are discussed and summarized in detail.
