The magnetically separable Au NPs–Fe3O4–rGO catalyst provides a robust and efficient route for the A3 coupling reaction of secondary amines, terminal alkynes and aldehyde with tolerance of diverse functional groups for the synthesis of propargylamine in high yields.

<p>The synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles from alkyl azides and terminal alkynes at room temperature and under microwave heating was attained using Cu(I), generated <em>in-situ </em>from copper(II) sulfate and phenylboronic acid, as catalyst. Twelve new triazoles were obtained in moderate to good yields (53-98%), and the products were obtained by crystallization from the mixture reaction without further purification.</p>

<a></a><a>We demonstrated unprecedentedly that Co complexes can catalyze hydrogermylation of alkynes. Subsequently, a selective, accessible method was developed to synthesize E-(β)-vinyl(trialkyl)germanes from various terminal alkynes with high yields. As shown on multiple examples, the developed method demonstrates broad functional group tolerance and practical utility for late-stage hydrogermylation of drugs and natural products. The method is compatible with alkynes bearing both aryl and alkyl substituents, providing unrivaled selectivity for previously challenging 1° alkyl-substituted alkynes. Moreover, the catalyst used in this method, Co<sub>2</sub>(CO)<sub>8</sub>, is a cheap and commercially available reagent. Conducted mechanistic studies supported syn-addition of Bu<sub>3</sub>GeH to an alkyne</a> π-complex.
