MOF-Derived Cu@N-C Catalyst for 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reaction

Abstract

Cu(im)₂-derived Cu@N-C composites were used for the first time as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for one-pot 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of terminal alkynes, aryl halides, and sodium azide to preparation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles with broad substrate scope and high yields. The catalyst can be easily reused without the changes of structure and morphology, and the heterogeneity nature was confirmed from the catalyst recyclability and metal leaching test.
