Solid-phase Mannich condensation of amines, aldehydes, and alkynes: Investigation of diverse aldehyde inputs

Terminal alkynes, secondary amines, and aldehydes undergo solid-phase Mannich condensation. A set of diverse aldehyde inputs was examined. Aliphatic, aralkyl, aryl, and heteroaryl carboxaldehydes give good yields of Mannich adduct of high purity. Benzaldehydes containing electron-donating substituents that decrease the electrophilicity of the carbonyl center, or heteroaryl aldehydes that are similarly deactivated by resonance effects, do not undergo reaction.
