One-pot sequential diprop-2-ynylation and cycloaddition: An efficient synthesis of novel N,N-bis(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl) methylarylamines starting from primary amines

Abstract

A facile, one-pot synthesis strategy for the tertiary arylamines bearing N,N-bis(1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl structure has been developed by sequential diprop-2-ynylation of primary amines with propargyl bromide in the presence of calcium hydride in DMF and [3 + 2] “click” cycloaddition with organic azides promoted by cupric acetate in the mixed DMF-H2O media. This protocol provides some features, such as high efficiency and regioselectivity, easy operation, and moderate to good product yield (56–84%) with a wide substrate scope under mild conditions.
