Aldimines react with aryl- and hetarylacetylenes in the presence of KOBu/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or NaOBu/DMSO systems under exceptionally mild conditions (14 °C, 1 h) to afford C-H-vinylated products, 1-azadienes of configuration relative to the C-C bond, in up to 72% yield. Vinylation involves the unprecedentedly fast multiposition proton transfer in the intermediate adducts of acetylene to the C═N bond. This new Csp-Csp bond-forming reaction opens a straightforward pot-, atom-, step-, and energy-economic access to synthetically valuable 1-azadienes.
