An enantioselective copper-catalyzed alkynylation of unstabilized cyclic iminium ions has been developed. Whereas such alkynylations typically utilize pyridinium, quinolinium and isoquinolinium intermediates, this method enables use of cyclic iminium ions unstabilized by resonance. With the use of a Lewis acid and copper catalyst, these iminium ions are generated <i>in situ</i> from readily available hemiaminal methyl ethers and transformed into highly enantioenriched α-alkynylated cyclic amines ...[more]
