A microwave-assisted three-component reaction has been used to prepare a series of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles with complete control of regiose-lectivity by click chemistry , a fast and efficient approach to novel functionalized compounds using near perfect reactions [76]. In this user-friendly procedure for the copper(l) catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides and alkynes, irradiation of an alkyl halide, sodium azide, an alkyne and the Cu(l) catalyst, produced by the comproportionation of Cu(0) and Cu(ll), at 125 °C for 10-15 min, or at 75 °C for certain substrates, generated the organic azide in situ and gave the 1,4-disubstituted regioisomer 43 in 81-93% yield, with no contamination by the 1,5-regioisomer (Scheme 18).

Besides short ELPS, longer ELPs have also been conjugated to synthetic polymers. In one approach, Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry was applied. For this purpose, ELPs were functionalized with azides or alkynes via incorporation of azidohomoalanine and homopropargyl glycine, respectively, using residue-specific replacement of methionine in ELP via bacterial expression [133]. More recently, an alternative way to site-selectively introduce azides into ELPs was developed. Here, an aqueous diazotransfer reaction was performed directly onto ELP[V5L2G3-90] using imidazole-1-sulfonyl azide [134].

By combining several click reactions, click chemistry allows for the rapid synthesis of useful new compounds of high complexity and combinatorial libraries. The 2-type reaction of the azide ion with a variety of epoxides to give azido alcohols has been exploited extensively in click chemistry. First of all, azido alcohols can be converted into amino alcohols upon reduction.70 On the other hand, aliphatic azides are quite stable toward a number of other standard organic synthesis conditions (orthogonality), but readily undergo 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with alkynes. An example of the sequential reactions of... 

Click chemistry has been particularly active in various fields this year. For example, ample applications of click chemistry have been seen in carbohydrate chemistry. Various /weiido-oligosacchardies and amino acid glycoconjugates were synthesized via an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction using easily accessible carbohydrate and amino acid derived azides and alkynes as building blocks <06JOC364>. The iterative copper(I)-catalyzed... 

Click Chemistry Cu1-promoted Azide—Alkyne [3 + 2] Cycloaddition... 

Click chemistry refers to the reaction between an azido functional group and an alkyne to form a [3 + 2] cycloaddition product, a 5-membered triazole ring. This reaction has been used for many years in organic synthesis to form heterocyclic rings. Normally, the click reaction requires high temperatures, and this was the main reason that it was not used as a bioconjugation tool. However, it was discovered that in aqueous solutions and in the presence of Cu(I), the reaction kinetics are dramatically accelerated to provide high yields even at room temperature and ambient pressures (Rostovtsev et al., 2002 Tornoe et al., 2002 Sharpless et al., 2005). 

Figure 7.7 The synthesis of dendrimer molecules using click chemistry proceeds with high yield. Each step results in the cycloaddition reaction between azide-containing molecules and alkyne molecules to form triazole linkages.

Figure 17.3 Maleimide-modified glass slides (1) can be derivatized using two chemoselective ligation reactions to create biotin modifications. In the first step, alkyne-PEG4-cyclopentadiene linkers (2) are added to the maleimide groups using a Diels-Alder reaction. In the second reaction, an azido-PEG4-biotin compound (3) is reacted with the terminal alkyne on the slide using click chemistry to result in another cycloaddition product, a triazole ring.

Figure 17.16 Cyclooctyne derivatives can be used as alternative click chemistry reactants, as they are capable of reacting with an azide group without the presence of Cu1+ to form a cycloaddition product. This reaction proceeds at a slower rate than the Cu1+-catalyzed process, but it avoids the cytotoxic effects that copper addition can have on cells.

Another route involves a palladium-copper-catalyzed tandem carbon-carbon formation/cycloaddition sequence (Equation 12) <2005TL8531>. Notably, cycloadditions of azide to the internal alkynes failed under click chemistry reaction conditions <2003DDT1128>. Cyclization under oxidative conditions has been reported from dithioacetal 163 (Equation 13) <1996TL3925>. The formation of 164 as a single diastereoisomer has been explained by stereoelectronic effects.
