Abstract
Cu nanoparticles prepared by metal vapor synthesis (MVS) were immobilized on 3-aminopropyl-functionalized silica at room temperature. HRTEM analysis of the catalyst showed that the copper nanoparticles are present with mean diameters limited in the range 1.0–4.5nm. TPR analysis was performed in order to study the oxidation state of the supported copper nanoparticles. The supported catalyst was used both in batch and in a packed-bed reactor for continuous-flow CuAAC reaction. The activation of the copper catalyst by reduction using phenyl hydrazine in continuous-flow conditions was demonstrated. Along with the high catalytic activity (productivity up to 1689mol/mol), the catalyst can be used several times with negligible Cu leaching in the product (<9ppm), less than allowed Cu contaminant in pharmaceuticals. The applicability of packed-bed flow reactor was showed by sequentially converting different substrates in their corresponding products using same column.
