Bi- and trinuclear copper(I) complexes of 1,2,3-triazole-tethered NHC ligands: synthesis, structure, and catalytic properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of copper complexes (3-6) stabilized by 1,2,3-triazole-tethered N-heterocyclic carbene ligands have been prepared via simple reaction of imidazolium salts with copper powder in good yields. The structures of bi- and trinuclear copper complexes were fully characterized by NMR, elemental analysis (EA), and X-ray crystallography. In particular, [Cu2(L2)2](PF6)2 (3) and [Cu2(L3)2](PF6)2 (4) were dinuclear copper complexes. Complexes [Cu3(L4)2](PF6)3 (5) and [Cu3(L5)2](PF6)3 (6) consist of a triangular Cu3 core. These structures vary depending on the imidazolium backbone and N substituents. The copper-NHC complexes tested are highly active for the Cu-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction in an air atmosphere at room temperature in a CH3CN solution. Complex 4 is the most efficient catalyst among these polynuclear complexes in an air atmosphere at room temperature.

μ-Hydroxyl trinuclear copper(II) compounds, with core structures closely resembling the central moieties in multicopper oxidases, have been extensively investigated and the importance of the prototypes in the oxidation of C-H bonds has been confirmed. In the course of study for the Cu(II) salens catalyzing the three-component (sodium azide, epoxide and non-activated terminal alkyne) 1,3-Huisgen...

In this protocol, we report a novel approach for the synthesis of a new class of heterocyclic 1H-1,2,3-triazole-modified peptidomimetic compounds. The process consists of an Ugi four-component condensation reaction of amines, an isocyanide, an aldehyde and acids followed by a Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with an azide group in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuSO4</...

Complexes of 1,2,4-triazole (trz) and of the 1,2,4triazolate ion (trz') have been described before. Most of the papers dealt with copper compounds, especially CuCl2(trz), CuCl(trz')(H20 ) 2 and Cu(trz')2 1_n. J a r v i s 12 determined the structure of CuCl2(trz). It is a polynuclear complex, the copper ions being bridged by two chloride ions and a 1,2-bicoordinating triazole ligand. The linear ...
متن کامل[(NHC)2Cu]X complexes as efficient catalysts for azide-alkyne click chemistry at low catalyst loadings.
In 2001, Sharpless and co-workers defined the concept of ‘Click Chemistry’ and the criteria for a transformation to be considered as ‘Click’. Since then, the copper-catalyzed reaction of azide and alkyne to produce 1,2,3-triazoles regioselectively (1,3dipolar Huisgen cycloaddition) has become the best Click reaction to date. Thanks to its mild conditions and high efficiency, this reaction has f...
