The structure of target products 3a-3u was confirmed and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The influences of different kinds of catalyst loading, bases, substrates and temperature were also investigated. Under the optimized conditions, including 2.5 mol% Pd (CF3COO)2, 5 mol% PPh3 and 5 mol% CuI as additive, 1 mL Et3N, substrate 1 with terminal alkynes 2 for the cross-coupling reactions at 100กใC for 3 h in DMF afforded the corresponding products of 2-amino-3-alkynylpyridines 3 in moderate to excellent yields (72% - 96%).
