Aliphatic and aromatic sulfonamides were alkynylated with 1-bromo-1-alkynes in the catalytic presence of CuI to give N-(1-alkynyl)sulfonamides in good to excellent yields. The acetylene-titanium complexes generated from N-(1-alkynyl)benzosultams underwent diastereoselective addition to aldehydes. [reaction: see text]
