1 Introduction
Designing of sustainable synthetic methodologies to reduce the waste and hazards associated with the conventional synthetic procedures is the main motive of green chemistry [1, 2]. The use of efficient and reusable catalysts has always remained a tool of choice for organic synthesis [3–7]. In this regards metal incorporated heterogeneous catalysts have attracted immense attention due to their plethora of applications to realize green aspects such as high efficiency, reusability, low catalyst loading and ease of separation [8–11].
In the last decade, use of aqueous media in transition-metal catalyzed reactions became popular due to credentials such as nontoxicity, non-flammability, easy availability, safety and inexpensive nature [12–15]. However, scanty solubility of precursors in water avoids its utility in organic transformations. Hence to overcome this problem, aqueous mixed solvent system has been found to be more effective for promoting organic reactions.
1,2,3-Triazoles have a wide range of applications in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. They exhibit activities such as anti-HIV [16], antibacterial [17], anticancer [18], antiviral [19], Histone deacetylase inhibitor, antifungal [20, 21], antiepileptic [22, 23], anti-allergic [24], antimicrobial against gram positive bacteria and β3-adrenergic receptor agonist [25–27]. The wide applications of 1,2,3-Triazoles have stimulated development of new methods for their synthesis as well as their derivatives. Amongst several methods available for the synthesis of triazoles [28–34], 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is one of the most admired protocols for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazole framework [35–43]. The maiden report on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azides with alkynes was put forward by Huisgen et. al [44]. They carried out reactions without using any metal catalyst however, even after long reaction time obtained mixture of 1,4 and 1,5-isomers of 1,2,3-Triazole at high temperature. Later on Meldal [45] and Sharpless [46] introduced the term Click chemistry by employing Cu(I) salts for the reaction of azide with terminal alkynes to afford 1,4-disubstituted products [47, 48]. Now a days, numerous methods are available for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition employing homogeneous/heterogeneous Cu complex as catalyst [49–53]. Though, copper salts act as a homogeneous catalyst, they suffer from drawbacks such as difficult separation, reusability of the catalyst, cytotoxicity and environmental pollution issues. Furthermore, it is difficult to remove trace amount of catalyst from the final product as metal contamination is highly regulated in the pharmaceutical industry [54–56].
The green chemistry legislations insist to employ eco-benign synthetic procedures but unfortunately most of the reported methods involve explosive and difficult to handle azides as starting materials, organic solvents as reaction media, prolong heating, non-reusable catalytic system and tedious experimental procedures used for separation of catalyst [13, 57–69]. Thus, a truly green method for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is highly warranted which could avoid direct use of hazardous organic azides and get catalyzed by eco-friendly heterogeneous copper catalyst which we achieved by in situ generated azides from aryl/ alkyl halides using [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] as a reusable, eco-friendly heterogeneous catalyst in ethanol: water system (Scheme 1).
2 Results and Discussion
Initially, we focused our attention towards design and synthesis of copper containing reusable and heterogeneous catalyst viz 1,3-bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) propane copper(I) dibromate [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)]. The synthesis of [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] is carried out in two steps. In the first step, reaction of 1-methyl imidazole and 1,3-dibromopropane in toluene at 80 °C for 24 h resulted into 83% of dicationic 1,3-bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) propane dibromide [bis-(MIM)](Br2)]. In the second step the resultant dicationic ionic liquid (IL) was refluxed at 60 °C with CuBr in methanol for 4 h to afford desired amorphous powder of [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] (4.56 g, 97%) (Scheme 2). Analysis of synthesized catalyst was done by IR, NMR, SEM, EDS and XPS techniques. Figure 1 displays the overlay FTIR spectra of CuBr(a), [bis-(MIM)](Br2)](b) and [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] (c). The absorption bands at 3069 and 3010 cm−1 shows presence of saturated C–H stretching vibrations. The characteristic absorption bands at 1560 and 1466 cm− 1 attributed to C–N stretching vibrations of the imidazole ring [70]. The disappearance of absorption band at 3438 cm−1 in [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)](c) indicates the formation of desired catalyst.
The SEM analysis (Fig. 2) of the catalyst, before (a) and after use (b) exhibits no significant change in its morphology. The thermal stability of the catalyst was studied by using the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) analysis in the range of 25–800 °C in an air atmosphere at 10 °C /min. The TGA analysis of the catalyst is depicted in Fig. 3. The TGA profile reflects that the catalyst is highly thermo stable. At the beginning, the catalyst showed a slight weight loss due to the physically adsorbed water molecules upto 200 °C, and had a weight loss of 4.403% at 294.82 °C [70]. The further weight loss in the range of 264.82–385.79 °C is attributed to loss and decomposition of copper(I) dibromate anion. The largest weight loss 48.41% is due to decomposition of cation and formation of metal oxides at 632.68 °C. The total residual weight (24.5%) after thermal degradation of catalyst is in accordance with the theoretical residual weight of the CuO. The presence of copper in [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] catalyst is supported by its EDS analysis (Fig. 4) which illustrates incorporation of copper with [bis-(MIM)](Br2)] during reaction.
To investigate the oxidation state of copper in catalyst, XPS analysis was carried out (Fig. 5). The values of binding energy (Fig. 5c) at 932.93 and 953.32 eV correspond to the Cu2p3/2 and Cu2p1/2, respectively. The Auger spectra (Fig. 5d) of catalyst exhibits a characteristic peak at 570.65 eV, which is close to the reported value of 569.9 eV and 570.0 eV for Cu2O [71–73]. The data of binding energy is in good agreement with the literature value of binding energy of Cu(I) [74, 75] revealing that copper integrated in the catalyst is in the form of Cu(I).
In Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, aromatic azides are generally used as precursors. These organic azides are stable against most reaction conditions but their low molecular weight derivatives are explosive and high temperature lead to the decomposition [46]. Recently, scientists explored in situ generation of aryl azides and thus put forward a remedy to overcome drawbacks caused by the direct use of aryl azides [47, 48]. In this perspective, we have initially reacted aryl/alkyl halides with sodium azides for in situ generation of the corresponding azides.
Initially, model reaction for the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of benzyl chloride, sodium azide and phenyl acetylene was carried out in presence of catalytic amount of [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] at room temperature using ethanol as a solvent, however no progress was observed. Hence, the model reaction was carried out at reflux condition. Pleasurably, the corresponding 1,2,3-triazole was obtained in good yield within short time. The formation of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole instead of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole was confirmed on the basis of spectral data of product in the literature [58, 76, 77].
In order to optimize the reaction conditions for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition, initially screening of catalyst was carried out for the model reaction (Table 1, entry 1–7). The product was obtained in excellent yield with 5 mol% (0.032 g) of catalyst at 80 °C in ethanol (Table 1, entry 3). No significant change in reaction time and yield of product was observed even though increasing catalyst loading up to 10 mol% (0.064 g) (Table 1, Entry 4). However, when the catalyst loading was reduced to 4 mol% (0.025 g) and 2 mol% (0.012 g), increase in time for completion of reaction and decrease in yield of product was observed (Table 1, entries 1 and 2). To investigate the effect of copper in the catalyst, model reaction was performed in presence of 5 mol% [bis-(MIM)](Br2)] but, no progress in the reaction was observed (Table 1, entry 5). When the same reaction was carried out in the presence of 5 and 10 mol% of CuBr, afforded lower yield of product with increased reaction time (Table 1, entries 6 and 7) as compared to [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)]. Afterwards, in order to investigate combinatorial effect of both the subparts of catalyst, the model reaction was carried out utilizing CuBr in combination with [bis-(MIM)](Br2)] 5 mol% each (Table 1, entry 8) then there was no significant change in the yield and reaction time.
After screening of the catalyst, we investigated the solvent effect for model reaction. In light of the principles of green chemistry, initially model reaction was carried out in water; however, no product formation was observed (Table 2, entry 1). From our earlier experience in mixed solvent system, we envisaged that mixed solvent system may reinforce the reaction towards completion [78]. Hence, we focused our attention towards screening of ethanol: water system for model reaction (Table 2, entries 2–10). Satisfyingly, we observed the formation of desired product in excellent yield [91%] with 60% ethanol (Table 2, entry 7).
With the optimized reaction conditions in hand, the generality of protocol was evaluated by reactions of various halides with terminal alkynes and NaN3 under optimized reaction conditions and observed that all reactions proceed smoothly furnishing desired product in good yields (Table 3, entries 1–13).
The reusability of catalyst is a prominent feature in case of heterogeneous catalysts. The recovery and reusability of catalyst was performed with model reaction of benzyl bromide, sodium azide and phenyl acetylene. Due to heterogeneous nature, catalyst was separated just by filtration. The filtrate was analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and satisfyingly, no copper metal was detected in filtrate which is in support of ionic liquid binds with copper to minimize deterioration and metal leaching results into efficient catalyst recycling. The filtered catalyst was washed with ethyl acetate and chloroform, dried and reused for new reaction. Noticeably, the recovered catalyst was successfully used for four cycles without any remarkable loss in efficiency in terms of time and the yield of desired 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole (Fig. 6).
Table 4 encompassed comparison of catalytic system and highlights merits as well as demerits of the literature methods. It is noteworthy that the use of 1,3-bis(1-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium) propane copper(I) dibromate [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] as new heterogeneous and reusable catalyst for 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition has a comparable/ excellent activity as compared to reported copper catalytic systems. The use of water: ethanol as solvent system, low cost, easy isolation of product from the reaction mixture, operational simplicity, and re-usability are the merits of present method.
3 Conclusion
We have synthesized [bis-(MIM)](CuBr2)] as a novel efficient heterogeneous catalyst in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition for one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in ethanol: water mixed system at 80 °C. Noticeable advantages of this protocol include operational simplicity, reusability of catalyst, mild reaction conditions along with ambient temperature, regioselectivity and wide substrate scope.
