In conclusion, we report a method for the valorization of propargylic alcohols through gold catalysed hydroamination. In the presence of an aniline and a commercially available gold catalyst, propargylic alcohols undergo regioselective hydroamination which yields a 3-hydroxyimine which can be stereoselectively reduced to a 1,3-syn-aminoalcohol or hydrolyzed to the corresponding 3 hydroxyketone. By changing to a two-step one-pot process, 3-aminoketones can be obtained via Meyer-Schuster rearrangement and conjugate addition of the aniline to the resulting enone. The latter step is formally a hydroamination of the enone, which is also catalysed by gold. Thus, by using the same substrates and catalyst under different conditions, three different products can be obtained efficiently with high selectivity.
