Abstract The ability of mechanochemistry to alter established chemical selectivity is demonstrated. A copper(I)‐catalyzed mechanochemical aldehyde/alkyne/amine coupling using calcium carbide as the acetylene source provides selective access to 1,4‐diamino‐2‐butynes, which contrasts classical approaches that provide propargylamine‐type products. Solventless milling conditions were found to be essential to unmask A 3 coupling products with new compositions.
