56. The nitrogen nucleophiles appear to be stable under the reaction conditions, and the unreacted nucleophile may be recovered from the reaction mixture, if desired. This point was successfully demonstrated in the 10 mmol scale preparation of ynamide 3f (Table 2), from which 90% recovery of the unreacted nucleophile was achieved.
