The combination of two or more unsaturated structural units to form cyclic organic compounds is commonly referred to as cycloaddition, and the combination of two unsaturated structural units that forms a six-membered ring is formally either a [5 + 1]-, [4 + 2]-, [2 + 2 + 2]-, or [3 + 3]-cycloaddition. Occurring as concerted or stepwise processes, cycloaddition reactions are among the most usefu...

The 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions are the classic reaction in modern synthetic organic chemistry. The concept of these reactions was introduced by Huisgen and his co-workers in the early 1960’s. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions are simple but powerful tool for the construction of five membered heterocycles such as isoxazoles, isoxazolines, pyrazoles, pyrazolones, 1,2,4-oxadiazolines et...

1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1 mol or 2 mol of dibenzalaceton with 1 mol of non-stabilized azomethinylides generated in situ by decarboxylative condensation of isatin and proline or sarcosine give the novel new spiro-oxindolo(pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines) instead of bis-spirooxindolo( pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines).

An efficient one-pot three-component procedure for the synthesis of new chiral spiro-oxindolopyrrolizidines with highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and optically pure active cinamoyl oxazolidinone are described. The process occurs at room temperature in aqueous ethanol as green solvent and in the absence of any bidentate chelating...

Biohybrid amphiphiles have been prepared from terminal azide functionalised polystyrene and an alkyne functionalised peptide or protein via a Cu(I) catalysed Huisgen [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition reaction.

The dipolar cycloaddition reactivity of N-(1-naphthy1)-1,4- benzoquinoneimine N-oxide and N-phenyl-1,4- naphthoquinoneimine Noxide are investigated, The latter gives the expected adducts with common dipolarophiles such as acrylonitryle, methyl methacrylate, dimethylacetylene dicarboxylate and N-phenylmaleimide. The reactivity of the former nitrone is found to be minimal. It undergoes, how...

The copper catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 4-butoxyphenylazide with 2-, 3- or 4-ethynylpyridine furnishes 1,4-diaryltriazoles, which display turn-on fluorescence upon addition of metal cations.

Copper-catalyzed, thermal or microwave promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (Click Reaction) of 2-propynyl and 3-butynyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-azido-6-deoxy-glycopyranosides in the D-gluco, D-galacto and D-manno series afford the corresponding dimeric cycloaddition products.
