摘要

Recent advances of enantioselective additions of terminal alkynes to imines are reviewed in this paper. The asymmetric catalysts involve the homogeneous and immobilized ones. The homogeneous ones comprise copper complexes of Pybox, bisamines, Quinap, Pinap and tosylated aminoimine, zirconium complexes of peptidic chiral ligands, zinc complexes of aminoalcohols and Binols etc. The three-component addition reactions of terminal alkynes, aldehydes and amines are also discussed.
