23. 1H NMR yields were determined by using 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane as an internal standard.
24. A ketimine, which was derived from the reaction between acetophenone and aniline, did not give the corresponding propargylamine even at 80°C.
25. For reports that those triflates act as a Lewis acid and activate aldimines, see: S. Kobayashi, Top. Organomet. Chem. 1999, 2, 63.
26. 2. The result indicates that aldimines or propargyl amines did not increase the nucleophilicity of trimethylsilylacetylene (2a) by deprotonation.

29. Although the reaction proceeded with only 5.0 mol % of copper(I) chloride, the yield of propargylamine (4) was low (62%).
