Ligand synthesis catalyst and complex metal ion: multicomponent synthesis of 1,3-bis(4-phenyl-[1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol copper(i) complex and application in copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition

Abstract

A new bistriazole copper complex was synthesized by direct treatment of an alkyne, an azide, and CuI as copper salt through in situ ligand formation under a multicomponent reaction process. This complex was analyzed by XPS, TGA, DSC, and SEM techniques and revealed a triangular-shapedmorphology, high thermal stability, and catalytic power in CuAAC reactions, requiring only 2.5% mol catalyst to afford 1,2,3-triazoles in good yields which can be reused at least for 4 cycles
