Abstract Several simple, fast and practical protocols have been developed to synthesize internal or terminal propargylamines and chalcones via A3-coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines, and alkynes catalyzed by an easily available catalyst Ag2CO3 under solvent-free condition. The reaction proceeded smoothly to deliver various products in good-to-excellent yields with good functional group tolerance. Gram-scale preparation, bioactive molecule synthesis and asymmetric substrates have been demonstrated. Furthermore, plausible mechanisms for the synthesis of different products have been proposed.
