As a result of their superior thermal stability compared to ynamines, ynamides have received considerable attention over the past decade and are clearly emerging as key and versatile synthetic intermediates.[1] Only recently ynamides have been shown to be excellent substrates for ring-closing metathesis,[2] palladium-mediated coupling reactions or rearrangements,[3] cycloisomerization reactions [4] and [2+ 2] cycloadditions,[5] radical transformations,[6] Pauson–Khand cyclization,[7] diastereoselective sigmatropic rearrangements,[8] ynecarbonyl metathesis,[9] carbometalations,[10] as well as many other useful transformations. They have also been used as efficient synthons for the preparation of a wide array of molecules such as keto-imides,[11] amino-indoles,[12] oxazolones,[13] carbazoles,[14] triazoles,[15] and benzofurans.[16] In addition to a number of traditional approaches that often lack generality,[1] two methods for the synthesis of ynamides have recently emerged. The first one relies on the use of hypervalent alkynyliodonium salts [4b, 7] while the second one, perhaps the most widely applicable to date, is the coppercatalyzed coupling of alkynyl bromides with amides,[17] a modern variant of the Goldberg reaction which has recently been extended to the use of terminal alkynes.[18] Despite these advances, general methods are still needed for the preparation of ynamides, particularly because existing procedures suffer either from limited substrate scope, require the formation of the alkynylating agent, or use a large excess of the amide. An attractive alternative for the preparation of ynamides would rely on the generation of sp2 carbenoid intermediates starting from readily available 1, 1-dibromo-1-alkenes and their further reaction with nitrogen nucleophiles (Scheme 1). If successful, this procedure would be especially convenient and straightforward for the preparation of ynamides.Drawing from recent experiences in the field of coppercatalyzed cross coupling reactions,[19, 20] we wondered whether such a reaction could be performed using catalytic amounts of copper (I) salts. Two important precedents provided a basis for our investigation of this transformation: the synthesis of
