Abstract

A straightforward and efficient method for the regioselective synthesis of functionalized 1,4-disubstituted [1,2,3]-triazoles, from terminal alkynes and azides, has been established utilizing Cu(0) as the source of the catalytic species. The presumed catalytic Cu(I) species is generated by the combination of 10 mol % copper nanosize activated powder and 1 equiv of an amine hydrochloride salt. The addition of an amine hydrochloride salt into the reaction mixture enhanced the dissolution of copper metal, and subsequently facilitated the formation of the Cu(I)-acetylide intermediate required for the regioselective cycloaddition.

    In 2005, Orgueira and Rothenberg conducted the first CuAAC reaction using copper nanoparticles and is shown in Fig. 11. The amine hydrochloride salt of alkyne was used by Orgueira in order to increase the solubility of Cu-NPs in t–BuOH/H2O mixture [134], whereas Rothenberg and his research group used tetraoctylammonium ion for the stabilization of nanometric copper clusters, without any additives at room temperature [135]. In 2013, A. Pathigoolla and co-workers used in situ generated Cu-NPs by reduction of cupric sulphate with hydrazine hydrate and carried out cycloaddition of terminal alkynes with aromatic azides at room temperature under solvent free conditions [136].
