One-pot esterification-click (CuAAC) and esterification–acetylene coupling (Glaser/Eglinton) for functionalization of Wang polystyrene resin

Cu(I)-azidopyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine Catalyzed Glaser-Hay Reaction under Mild Conditions

The limitation of the CuAAC "click" reaction with a 2-azidopyridine substrate, owing to its equilibrium with a tetrazole isomer, is exploited herein for its utility in the Glaser-Hay reaction. A catalytic combination of a 2-azidopyridine analogue, 4-azido-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidine, and CuI afforded homocoupled products of terminal alkynes, without any trace of triazole product, under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope. Emphasis on carbohydrate-based substrates appended to a propargylic group led to 1,3-diynes in good to excellent yields.

An efficient cyclization of lapachol to new benzo[h]chromene hybrid compounds: a stepwisevs.one-pot esterification-click (CuAAC) study

Comparison of one-potvs.stepwise esterification of lapachol to obtain highly diversified heterocycles. Whereas the one-pot esterification leads to mono esterified lapachol, the tandem approach generated benzo[h]chromene.

CuAAC: An Efficient Click Chemistry Reaction on Solid Phase

Click chemistry is an approach that uses efficient and reliable reactions, such as Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), to bind two molecular building blocks. CuAAC has broad applications in medicinal chemistry and other fields of chemistry. This review describes the general features and applications of CuAAC in solid-phase synthesis (CuAAC-SP), highlighting the suitability of this kind of reaction for peptides, nucleotides, small molecules, supramolecular structures, and polymers, among others. This versatile reaction is expected to become pivotal for meeting future challenges in solid-phase chemistry.

Selection of two optional covalent bonds by electric stimuli: dual catalytic switching of redox-active copper

Two types of redox functionality were selected for covalent binding on a carbon electrode, responding to an electric potential applied to a dual-active copper catalyst.
