Questions And Answer

• Synthesis

  Aryl bromide (1 equivalent), elemental copper powder (10 equivalents), and Copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate hydrate (2 equivalents) were added to dimethyl sulfoxide (halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon 0.2 mL/mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 65 °C for 72 hours. After the reaction was completed, water and ethyl acetate were added to the mixture to separate the two phases. The aqueous layer was then extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried with anhydrous Na2SO4. The combined organic layers were filtered to remove the drying agent. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by preparative TLC (40% EtOAc/n-hexane) to obtain the coupled product molecule.

• Uses

  According to relevant literature, copper thiophene-2-carboxylate (I) can be used to catalyze click reactions (the cycloaddition reaction of alkynyl and azide groups to generate regioselective 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole). This reaction has been widely used in bioorthogonal chemistry and new drug development, which can significantly reduce the investment in new drug development.;
