mol%) were then added, and the mixture was stirred at 50 °C
until completion of the Sonogashira reaction. In a second
round-bottom flask, fluoronitrobenzene starting material (1.05
equiv) was dissolved in MeCN (10 mL per 4 mmol). Sodium
azide (1.15 equiv) and tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate
(0.05 equiv) were then added and the mixture was stirred at
50 °C until completion of the aromatic nucleophilic substitution
reaction. The first round-bottom flask was then filtrated, and
the filtrate was poured into the second round-bottom flask. CuI
(8 mol%) was finally added, and the resulting mixture was
stirred at 60 °C until completion of both the deprotection and
click reaction. The resulting solution was then filtered over
Celite, and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure.
Recrystallization with EtOH was performed to obtain the
desired product.

13) General procedure (acetonitrile): 2-Nitroaryl fluoride reagent
was dissolved in MeCN (ca. 1 mL per mmol), then NaN3 (1.1
equiv) and tetrabutylammonium hydrogensulfate (0.1 g per
gram of starting material) were added. The solution was either
heated or stirred at room temperature until completion of the
1
aromatic nucleophilic substitution (either followed by TLC or H
NMR). After cooling to room temperature, phenylacetaldehyde
(0.9 equiv) and DBU (0.09 equiv) were added. The mixture was
stirred either at room temperature or heated to 80 °C until com-
pletion of the reaction (followed by TLC). Either work-up 1 or 2
were used.
Work-up 1 (gram-scale): as described in reference 12.
Work-up 2 (Table 1, entries 6, 10; 10–30 g scale): a massive pre-
cipitate was observed. The solid was isolated by filtration and
washed with a minimal amount of cold (0 °C) acetonitrile and
several times with water. After desiccation, the solid was
obtained in pure form.
