Thec atalytic activity of graphene oxide supported copper oxide (CuO-GO)h as been investigated in Clicks ynthesis of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives under green reactionc onditions.I nthe context of green approach, water is useda ss olvent under ligand free and aerobic conditions at room temperature,w ith lowc atalyst loading (0.2mol %) while ensuring the recovery and reusability of the catalyst. Thec atalyst affords excellent selectivity in formation of the desired productsi ng ood to excellent yields. Further, the work-up procedure adopted here is clean ands imple,while recycling the organic solvents that one usedf or work-up procedure.I ti sp roposed that the functional groups present on the GO surface are effective for preventing the aggregation of the catalytically active copper oxide species during the reaction. Moreover, the excellent performance of CuO-GO nanocomposite is ascribed to the excellent dispersity of the catalyst in water, hydrophilic nature of the GO for the accumulation of organic substrates in water and the "Breslowe ffect."
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.
