CuI@UiO-67-IM: A MOF-Based Bifunctional Composite Triphase-Transfer Catalyst for Sequential One-Pot Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition in Water
A CuI-loaded and n-pentadecyl-attached imidazolium salt decorated UiO-67-type metal-organic framework (CuIgUiO-67-IM, 2) based on a new premodified ligand-L (n-pentadecyl-attached imidazolium (IM) decorated dicarboxylic acid) and ZrCl4 is reported. Compound 2 can be a bifunctional composite heterogeneous phase transfer catalyst to promote the azide-alkyne cycloaddition (H2O, air, 80 degrees C) from corresponding halogenated compounds and sodium azide as a sequential one-pot procedure with high yields and excellent regioselectivity.
