Cu-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition
of iododiacetylenes with
organic azides using iodotris(triphenylphosphine)copper(I)
as a catalyst was found to be an efficient one-step synthetic route
to 5-iodo-4-ethynyltriazoles. The reaction is tolerant to various
functional groups in both butadiyne and azide moieties. The synthetic
application of 5-iodo-4-ethynyl triazoles obtained was also evaluated:
the Sonogashira coupling with alkynes resulted in unsymmetrically
substituted triazole-fused enediyne systems, while the Suzuki reaction
yielded the corresponding 5-aryl-4-ethynyl triazoles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
