Abstract

A series of 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles was prepared simply and conveniently via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition/coupling reaction of terminal alkynes, phenylboronic acids and sodium azide in 1,4-dioxane-water using CuI/CuSO₄ as catalyst.

Key words

triazole - cycloaddition/coupling - phenylboronic acid - copper catalyst - alkyne

Synthesis of 4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-5-[2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)ethynyl]-1-phenyl-1 H -1,2,3-triazole ( 4a); Typical Procedure: A mixture of 1a (50.0 mg, 0.41 mmol), 2a (118.9 mg, 0.90 mmol), sodium azide (3; 40.3 mg, 0.62 mmol), CuI (7.8 mg, 0.041 mmol) and CuSO₄·5H₂O (20.5 mg, 0.082 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) and H₂O (5 mL) was stirred overnight. Then, the reaction mixture was diluted with H₂O (20 mL) and was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ (3 × 20 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO₄, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (PE-EtOAc, 10:1) to afford 4a (98.5 mg, 63%) as a white solid; mp 86-88 °C.
