Abstract

A new method for the Huisgen cycloaddition using an ascorbic acid based ionic liquid and a copper catalyst in an ionic liquid, under microwave irradiation, is described. The reaction times are short and a simple procedure for separation of the products is established. Good conversions are obtained and the ionic liquid based catalytic system can be recycled.

  • 14 All reagents and chemicals (reagent grade) were obtained from commercial suppliers, and were used as received. TLC was performed using Merck silica gel 60 F254 aluminum sheets. Column chromatography was performed using Kanto Chemical silica gel 60. Melting points were determined using a Yamoto MP-21 melting point apparatus. 1H (500 MHz) and 13C (125 MHz) NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3 on a Bruker Avance DRX 500 spectrometer. Chemical shifts (δ) are expressed in ppm and are referenced to the residual peak of the solvent or TMS as an internal standard; coupling constants (J) are quoted in Hz. Mass analyses were performed using a JEOL AccuTOF LC-plus JMS-T100LP spectrometer. MALDI-MS (TOF) spectra were recorded on a Voyager DE-STR instrument; α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid was used as the matrix. Microwave irradiation was performed using a Shikoku Instrumentation CO., Inc. μReacter EX.
