Abstract
The first carbocupration and copper-catalyzed carbomagnesiation reactions on diversely
substituted ynamides is described here. This study shows that the linear regioisomer
can be quantitatively obtained in the carbometallation reaction of N-substituted alkynes.
Key words
carbocupration - carbomagnesiation - ynamides - regiochemistry - enamides

When the branched isomer was warmed to r.t., a β-elimination reaction occurs to lead
to the corresponding alkyne.

General Procedure for the Stoichiometric Carbocupration Reaction.
To a solution of CuI (2 equiv) in dry Et2 O (10 mL) at -78 °C was added alkylmagnesium bromide (2 equiv). The reaction mixture
was warmed to the indicated temperature and stirred for 30 min. Then, the reaction
mixture was cooled to -78 °C and alkynyl amide 1 (1 equiv) in dry Et2 O was added dropwise. The reaction solution was warmed to the indicated temperature
and stirred for additional 90 min. After 90 min, the reaction was quenched by a 1:2
mixture of sat. soln of NH4 Cl and NH4 OH (30%) and warmed to r.t. The phases were separated and the aqueous phases were
extracted three times with Et2 O. The combined organic layers were washed with 1:2 mixture of sat. solution of NH4 Cl and NH4 OH (30%) and dried over anhyd MgSO4 .

General Procedure for Copper-Catalyzed Carbomagnesiation Reaction.
To a solution of alkynyl amide (1 equiv) in dry Et2 O (10 mL), copper salt (0.1 equiv) was added at r.t. The reaction mixture was cooled
to -30 °C and alkylmagnesium bromide was added. Then, reaction mixture was warmed
to r.t. and stirred for 90 min. After 90 min, the reaction was quenched by a 1:2 mixture
of sat. soln of NH4 Cl and NH4 OH (30%) and warmed to r.t. The phases were separated and the aqueous phases were
extracted three times with Et2 O. The combined organic layers were washed with 1:2 mixture of sat. soln of NH4 Cl and NH4 OH (30%) and dried over anhyd MgSO4 .
