Intramolecular Copper(I)‐Catalyzed Interrupted Click–Acylation Domino Reaction

Abstract Acyl substituted triazoles are valuable scaffolds, but the direct synthesis of these moieties from terminal alkynes by copper catalysis remains unexplored. We report a robust, general, and efficient method using a simple CuI/2,2′‐bipyridine catalytic system. This transformation involves a copper catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) followed by an intramolecular acylation onto a carbamoyl chloride. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions, tolerates several functional groups, and is readily scalable. This method represents a novel strategy towards the synthesis of complex heterocycles by a CuAAC/acylation domino process.
