Dirhodium(II)-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of N-arylaminocyclopropane with alkyne derivatives

Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition.

The Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of organic azides and alkynes has gained considerable attention in recent years due to the introduction in 2001 of Cu(1) catalysis by Tornøe and Meldal, leading to a major improvement in both rate and regioselectivity of the reaction, as realized independently by the Meldal and the Sharpless laboratories. The great success of the Cu(1) catalyzed re...

Activity-based protein profiling in vivo using a copper(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne [3 + 2] cycloaddition.

Toward the goal of assigning function to the tens of thousands of protein products encoded by eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes, the field of proteomics requires new technologies that can functionally characterize proteins within the dynamic environment of the cell, where these biomolecules are subject to myriad posttranslational modifications and the actions of endogenous activators and inhib...

The Use of Ligands in Copper-catalyzed [3+2] Azide-alkyne Cycloaddition: Clicker than Click Chemistry?

NbCl(3)-catalyzed [2+2+2] intermolecular cycloaddition of alkynes and alkenes to 1,3-cyclohexadiene derivatives.

NbCl(3)(DME)-catalyzed [2+2+2] intermolecular cycloaddition of alkynes and alkenes was successfully achieved to give 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,3-cyclohexadiene derivatives in good yields.

Azide-alkyne Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition using CuO nanoparticles.

Recent developments in the synthesis of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) and their application to the [3+2] cycloaddition of azides with terminal alkynes are reviewed. With respect to the importance of click chemistry, CuO hollow NPs, CuO hollow NPs on acetylene black, water-soluble double-hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC) nanoreactors and ZnO–CuO hybrid NPs were synthesized. Non-conventional ene...
