Abstract

Abstract Image

A new copper catalyst was developed by immobilizing copper nanoparticles in aluminum oxyhydoxide fiber. The catalyst showed high catalytic activity for the (3 + 2) Huisgen cycloaddition of nonactivated alkynes as well as activated ones with various azides at room temperature. The catalyst was recycled five times without significant loss of activity.

      Cu(II) salts accelerate azide−alkyne cycloaddition reactions in alcoholic solvents without reductants such as sodium ascorbate. Spectroscopic observations suggest that Cu(II) undergoes reduction to catalytic Cu(I) species via either alcohol oxidation or ...
