Regioselective Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazoles by Use of a Silica-Supported Copper(I) Catalyst

Abstract
A 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction catalyzed by copper(I) immobilized on organic-inorganic hybrid materials was developed. Terminal alkynes reacted with benzyl- or alkyl halides and sodium azide in the presence of a copper(I) catalyst immobilized on 3-aminopropyl- or 3-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]propyl-functionalized silica gel in ethanol. The reactions exclusively generated the corresponding regiospecific 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in good to excellent yields. The azide intermediates do not need to be isolated during this procedure, and this should prove to be useful especially when unstable low-molecular-weight and polyvalent azides are used. Furthermore, the silica-supported copper could be recovered and recycled by simple filtration of the reaction solution and reused for ten consecutive trials without decrease in activity.
