A sulfonate-based Cu(Ⅰ) metal-organic framework as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for the synthesis of propargylamines under solvent-free conditions

A new highly efficient and reusable Cu(Ⅰ)-MOF has been developed for the synthesis of propargylamine compounds via the three-component reaction of secondary amines,alkynes.and aromatic aldehydes under solvent-free conditions.The desired propargylamines were obtained in good to excellent yields with a low catalyst loading.The catalyst may be recovered and reused for up to 5 cycles without major loss of activity.This protocol has the advantages of excellent yields,low catalyst loading,and catalyst recyclability.
