We have shown that an air-stable bulky thiourea-supported copper(i) chloride complex is an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of five-membered heterocycles from alkynes and azides.
Various triazole derivatives are synthesized via [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of azides with terminal alkynes (II) or alkyne (VI) using the title copper complex as a highly active catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
