Cu(ii)-alginate-based superporous hydrogel catalyst for click chemistry azide-alkyne cycloaddition type reactions in water.

ABSTRACT: A novel sustainable hydrogel catalyst based on the reaction of sodium alginate naturally extracted from brown algae Laminaria digitata residue with copper(ii) was prepared as spherical beads, namely Cu(ii)-alginate hydrogel (Cu(ii)-AHG). The morphology and structural characteristics of these beads were elucidated by different techniques such as SEM, EDX, BET, FTIR and TGA analysis. Cu(ii)-AHG and its dried form, namely Cu(ii)-alginate (Cu(ii)-AD), are relatively uniform with an average pore ranging from 200 nm to more than 20 μm. These superporous structure beads were employed for the copper catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of aryl azides and terminal aryl alkynes (CuAAC) via click chemistry at low catalyst loading, using water as a solvent at room temperature and pre
