A series of AA/BB types of cyclodextrin‐based supramolecular polymers (CD‐SP 1, 2, 3, and 4) have been constructed and characterized, which employed as ligands to accelerate the copper(I)‐catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) using the conventional Sharpless–Fokin catalyst (CuSO4 + Na ascorbate) for the first time. Among them, the bridged‐maleic‐2‐β‐CD (CD = cyclodextrin)@bridged‐maleic‐2‐Ada (Ada = adamantane) (CD‐SP 4) self‐assembly shows more effective catalytic activity for CuAAC of azide and acetylene at 40 mol ppm of Cu(I) in water with excellent yields and remarkable TON (turnover number) values (up to 23,750). CD‐SP 4 can be fully recycled, and the catalyst can be reused efficiently for 10 times with negligible loss of catalyst activity. Therefore, it may extend the potential applications of cyclodextrin‐based supramolecular polymers in green chemical synthesis.
In this reaction, a new strategy for the synthesis of indoles from N-(ortho-chloromethyl)aryl carbamates and terminal alkynes via Cu- catalyzed coupling-cyclization has been developed. The reactions proceeded smoothly under mild...
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.
