Water-Compatible Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazoles under Ultrasonic Conditions by a Cu(I) Complex-Mediated Click Reaction.

ABSTRACT: A new monophosphine Cu(I) complex bearing bis(pyrazolyl)methane (L ₁ ) (CuIL ₁ PPh ₃ ) was synthesized and used as a catalyst for the three-component click reaction from an alkyl halide, sodium azide, and terminal alkyne to furnish 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in up to 93% yield. The catalyst is highly stable, compatible with oxygen/water, and works with total efficiency under ultrasonic condition. The structure of the complex was studied and confirmed by X-ray crystallography, finding a riveting relationship with its catalytic activity. This sustainable triazoles synthesis is distinguished by its high atom economy, low catalyst loading (up to 0.5 mol %), broad substrate scope, short reaction times, oper
