Propargylamines are an important constituent of diverse, biologically active
and industrially valuable compounds. These useful, convenient and effective compounds
can be synthesized via the A3-coupling reactions between an aldehyde, amine, and alkyne
in the presence of a catalyst. In the past years, most of the catalysts containing transition
metals were applied in these reactions, but today, various heterogeneous catalysts, especially
nanocatalysts are used. The purpose of this review was to introduce some modern
catalysts for the A3-coupling reaction.
