title: Anti-Markovnikov hydroimination of terminal alkynes in gold-catalyzed pyridine construction from ammonia.
abstract: Gold-catalyzed hydroimination of terminal alkynes, giving rise to anti-Markovnikov adducts concomitant with unstable Markovnikov adducts is described. The elementary step can be applied for the construction of pyridine derivatives from ammonia and alkynes.
