Copper-Catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition under Oxidative Conditions: Polymer-Assisted Assembly of 4‑Acyl-1-Substituted-1,2,3-Triazoles

We herein document the first example of a reliable copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition under oxidative conditions. The combined use of two polymer-supported reagents (polystyrene-1,5,7-triaza­bicyclo­[4,4,0]­dec-5-ene/Cu and polystyrene-2-iodoxy­benzamide) overcomes the thermodynamic instability of copper­(I) species toward oxidation, enabling the reliable Cu-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions in the presence of an oxidant agent. This polymer-assisted pathway, not feasible under conventional homogeneous conditions, provides a direct assembly of 4-acyl-1-substituted-1,2,3-triazoles, contributing to expand the reliability and scope of Cu­(I)-catalyzed alkyne–azide cycloaddition.
