The development of domino, multi-component and cascade reactions continues to be an area of intense academic interest 1 even though they were first documented over a century ago. 2 A particularly useful example is the 'A 3 -coupling reaction', an atom-economic, single step process for the preparation of synthetically useful propargyl amines 3 and 4 from aldehydes, alkynes and amines (Scheme 1). This reaction is found to be catalysed by a number of transition ...
