A facile and regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles using click chemistry

The reaction of α-tosyloxy ketones, sodium azide, and terminal alkynes in presence of copper(I) in aqueous polyethylene glycol afforded regioselectively 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in good yield at ambient temperature.

The structure of the synthesized organic–inorganic hybrid material (SiO₂@APTES@2HAP-Zn) has been confirmed by various physicochemical characterization techniques, such as solid-state ¹³C CPMAS NMR spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (ED-XRF), and elemental analysis. The newly designed catalyst works under mild reaction conditions and also exhibits excellent performance in terms of good product yield and high turnover number (TON). One of the most important attributes of the present methodology is that the catalyst can be recycled several times without appreciable loss in its activity as proved by FTIR spectroscopy and SEM analysis. Besides, the heterogeneity test also confirms that no leaching of active catalytic species occurs from the silica supported zinc catalyst which confirms its remarkable structural stability under the reaction conditions.
