- 16 h at 80 °C (Table 1, entry 2). However, its suitability in the multicomponent coupling with an amine and an aldehyde still had to be demonstrated as there was no precedent for such a Mannich multicomponent coupling involving nonstabilized organozinc halides using THF or 2-MeTHF as solvent. To our
- delight, we found that the subsequent multicomponent coupling of the organozinc bromide with piperidine and benzaldehyde was possible, although it required the additional presence of lithium chloride to furnish a satisfactory result. We attributed the beneficial role of LiCl to the formation of more
- nucleophilic organozincate complexes (e.g., LiBuZnBrCl), which is a well-established process in THF [29][30]. Due to the hygroscopic character of LiCl and the necessity to determine the amount of organozinc by iodolysis [20] in order to adjust the stoichiometry of the reagents for the multicomponent coupling

- . Following our interest to DOS as a synthetic strategy for the generation of molecular scaffolds according to a couple/pair approach [45][46][47], we reasoned to combine the copper-catalyzed ketone–amine–alkyne (KA2) multicomponent coupling reaction [48] with the Pauson–Khand cycloaddition as the pairing
- components in the outcome of the multicomponent coupling reaction. Similarly, the use of piperidone as the ketone component proved to work only when the amino group was protected as Boc, whereas the N-methyl derivative did not proceed to the coupling product (Table 1, entries 10 and 9, respectively). Indeed
