  • 33 Typical Procedure for the Preparation of Compounds 6 The corresponding primary alkylamines 3 (1 mmol) and 4 (0.144 g, 1 mmol) were dissolved in MeCN (2 mL) and stirred for 30 min. Then, a mixture of the sulfonyl azide 2, (1.2 mmol), alkyne 1 (1 mmol), CuI (0.019, 0.1 mmol), and Et3N (0.100 g, 1 mmol) in MeCN (3 mL) was slowly added to the first mixture and was stirred at r.t. under N2 atmosphere. After completion of the reaction [about 8 h; TLC (EtOAc–hexane = 1:5) monitoring], the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (2 mL) and aq NH4Cl solution (3 mL), stirred for 30 min, and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 3 mL), and the combined organic fractions were dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography [silica gel (230–400 mesh; Merck), hexane–EtOAc = 5:1] to give the product.
