ABSTRACT The click cycloaddition reaction of azides and alkynes affording 1,2,3-triazoles is a transformation widely used to obtain relevant products in chemical biology, medicinal chemistry, materials science and other fields. In this work, a set of Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADESs) as “active” reaction media has been investigated in the copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reactions (CuAAc). The use of these green liquids as green and catalytic solvents has shown to improve the reaction effectiveness, giving excellent yields. The NADESs proved to be “active” in this transformation for the absence of added bases in all the performed reactions and in several cases for their reducing capabilities. The results were rationalized by DFT calculations which demonstrated the involvement of H-bonds between DESs and alkynes as well as a stabilization of copper catalytic intermediates.

  • Complexes for Click Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions
    Well-defined Copper(I) Complexes for Click Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions: One Click Beyond Silvia Díez-González* Department of Chemistry, Imperial College London Exhibition Road, South Kensington, SW7 2AZ London (UK) [email protected] Abstract: The discovery of copper(I) species as excellent catalysts for the regioselective cycloaddition reactions of azides and alkynes served as proof-of-concept of the importance of Click chemistry and opened a broad field of research that has found numerous ramifications in biochemistry, materials and medicinal science, for instance. The use of ligands in this context not only serves to stabilize the oxidation state of copper, but has also been shown to increase and modulate its reactivity. Still, efforts focused on developing more efficient catalytic systems for this transformation remain limited. Herein, the catalytic activities of ligated copper systems are reviewed in a way intended inspirational for further developments. 1. Introduction Transition metal catalysis is one of the most powerful tools available to chemists for the development of cleaner and more sustainable processes. Although simple metal salts can mediate a number of transformations, it was the use of ligands that catapulted organometallic catalysis to its present leading status. In particular, the use of well-defined complexes allows for a better control of the nature of the species present in the reaction media and generally avoids the need for excess of ligand and/or reagents for achieving optimal catalytic performance. These two points are crucial in the continuous quest of molecular chemistry for more efficient and less contaminating processes capable of providing diverse and complex architectures.

What is the degree of unsaturation for this compound? Answer: We can arrive at the degree of unsaturation for a structure in two ways. Since we know that the degree of unsaturation is the number of rings and/or multiple bonds in a compound, we can simply count them. There are three double bonds (3 degrees) and three triple bonds (six degrees), so the degree of unsaturation is 9. We can verify this by using the molecular formula, C13H10, to calculate a degree of unsaturation. The saturated 13-carbon compound should have the base formula C13H28, so (28 - 10) ÷ 2 = 18 ÷ 2 = 9. 9. Assign E or Z configuration to each of the double bonds in the compound.

Received: 28 September 2020; Accepted: 30 September 2020; Published: 1 October 2020 Cross-coupling reactions stand among the most important reactions in chemistry [1,2]. Nowadays, they are a highly valuable synthetic tool used for the preparation of a wide variety of organic compounds, from natural and synthetic bioactive compounds to new organic materials, in all fields of chemistry [3]. Almost 50 years from its discovery, the research in this topic remains active, and important progresses are accomplished every year. For this reason, we believe that a Special Issue on this topic is of general interest for the chemistry community. Advances in cross-coupling reactions have been developed with the aim to expand the synthetic utility of the methodology, through the involvement of new components, reaction conditions, and therefore, novel synthetic applications [4]. Although initially the term “cross-coupling” referred to the reaction of an organometallic reagent with an unsaturated organic halide or pseudohalide under transition metal catalysis, currently the definition is much more general and applies to reactions involving other components, conditions, and more complex synthetic transformations. In addition to the well-known and recognized cross-coupling reactions using organoboron (Suzuki-Miyaura), organotin (Stille), organozinc (Negishi), or organosilicon (Hiyama) nucleophiles, reactions involving other organometallic reagents such as organoindium [5,6], organolithium [7], and Grignard reagents [8] are now useful synthetic alternatives.

  • Multimetallic Catalysed Radical Oxidative C(Sp3)–H/C(Sp)–H Cross-Coupling Between Unactivated Alkanes and Terminal Alkynes
    ARTICLE Received 2 Jan 2016 | Accepted 19 Apr 2016 | Published 24 Jun 2016 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms11676 OPEN Multimetallic catalysed radical oxidative C(sp3)–H/C(sp)–H cross-coupling between unactivated alkanes and terminal alkynes Shan Tang1, Pan Wang1, Haoran Li1 & Aiwen Lei1,2 Radical involved transformations are now considered as extremely important processes in modern organic synthetic chemistry. According to the demand by atom-economic and sustainable chemistry, direct C(sp3)–H functionalization through radical oxidative coupling represents an appealing strategy for C–C bond formations. However, the selectivity control of reactive radical intermediates is still a great challenge in these transformations. Here we show a selective radical oxidative C(sp3)–H/C(sp)–H cross-coupling of unactivated alkanes with terminal alkynes by using a combined Cu/Ni/Ag catalytic system. It provides a new way to access substituted alkynes from readily available materials. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that this reaction proceeds through a radical process and the C(sp3)–H bond cleavage is the rate-limiting step. This study may have significant implications for controlling selective C–C bond formation of reactive radical intermediates by using multimetallic catalytic systems. 1 College of Chemistry and Molecular Sciences, Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS), Wuhan University, Wuhan 430072, China. 2 National Research Center for Carbohydrate Synthesis, Jiangxi Normal University, Nanchang 330022, China.

Box 36, Muscat 123, Oman; [email protected]; Tel.: +968-2414-1473 Abstract: Cross-coupling reactions furnishing carbon–carbon (C–C) and carbon–heteroatom (C–X) bond is one of the most challenging tasks in organic syntheses. The early developed reaction protocols by Ullmann, Ullman–Goldberg, Cadiot–Chodkiewicz, Castro–Stephens, and Corey–House, utilizing elemental copper or its salts as catalyst have, for decades, attracted and inspired scientists. However, these reactions were suffering from the range of functional groups tolerated as well as severely restricted by the harsh reaction conditions often required high temperatures (150–200 ◦C) for extended reaction time. Enormous efforts have been paid to develop and achieve more sustainable reaction conditions by applying the microwave irradiation. The use of controlled microwave heating dramatically reduces the time required and therefore resulting in increase in the yield as well as the efficiency of the reaction. This review is mainly focuses on the recent advances and applications of copper catalyzed cross-coupling generation of carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond under microwave technology.
