Searching for novel reusable biomass-derived solvents: furfuryl alcohol/water azeotrope as a medium for waste-minimised copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition

Abstract

Herein we report the first application of the furfuryl alcohol/water azeotrope as a sustainable and easily recoverable reaction medium for organic chemistry. As first applicantion we have defined a waste-oinimized protocol for click-chemistry synthesi of 1,2,3-triazoles.
