42. Sakaguchi, S.; Kubo, T.; Ishii, Y. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2001, 2534. In this work, Ishii has reported the Ir-catalyzed synthesis of imines by the coupling of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes. It should be noted that at the end of this manuscript the authors describe a "failed" reaction in which a byproduct is isolated in an unspecified yield that corresponds to the adduct of acetylene plus aldimine. Although it is not the focus of the study, this process may be related to the one that we independently describe herein.
