Abstract

A mechanistic study of copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cy­cloaddition (CuAAC) was examined using an enantioposition-selective asymmetric CuAAC as a probe reaction system. Based on the observed asymmetric amplification (a positive nonlinear effect), we proposed that a dimeric chiral copper complex is involved as a reactive intermediate in the copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition.
