Ultrasound promoted facile one pot synthesis of triazole derivatives catalyzed by functionalized graphene oxide Cu(I) complex under mild conditions.

A facile one pot three component reaction of alkyl halides, sodium azide with terminal alkynes can be catalyzed by functionalized graphene oxide copper (I) complex under ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature. In this protocol, the 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were afforded as target pure products in excellent yields and short reaction times. The prepared catalyst has been characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) techniques. Also, the catalyst is chemoselective and stable and can be reused several times without any appreciable loss of its catalytic activity.
