A one-pot, three-component coupling reaction of aldehydes, amines and alkyne (A3-coupling) via C-H activation using perflorinated resinsulphonic acid (Nafion®NR50) as a recyclable and environmentally benign catalyst for the synthesis of propargylamine derivatives is described. This protocol avoids the use of heavy metals, co-catalysts and produces the propargylamines in excellent yields.
