An Efficient Approach for the Synthesis of 1,2,3‐Triazole Moiety to Generate Uracil Molecular Architectures Through Cu‐Catalyzed Azide–Alkyne Cycloaddition

Abstract

A simple and efficient pathway to tether conjugates of monosaccharides or aromatic moieties to uracil establishing a 1,2,3‐triazole linker via click chemistry was reported. The reaction of arylimines of 5‐amino uracil with propargyl bromide in a basic medium gave a di‐propargylated uracil. The latter compound was converted into molecular architectures containing bis‐1,2,3‐triazole rings through Cu‐catalyzed 1,3‐cycloaddition reaction with different azides. The same arylimine of 5‐amino uracil yielded different products under reflux with propargyl bromide in acetonitril with the majority to 6‐propargylated‐5‐amino uracil.
