The research focuses on the copper-catalyzed multicomponent reactions (MCRs) of terminal alkynes, acid chlorides, and carbodiimides to synthesize functionalized propiolamidine derivatives. The study explores the efficiency of various bases and solvents to optimize the reaction conditions. The optimal catalytic system was found to be a combination of CuI, triethylamine (TEA), and acetonitrile (CH3CN), yielding the desired products in good to excellent yields. The experiments involved a suspension of carbodiimide and acid chloride, followed by the addition of anhydrous acetonitrile, TEA, CuI, and alkyne at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred, then extracted with CH2Cl2, washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and water, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, and evaporated under vacuum. The residue was purified using silica gel column chromatography with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate as the eluent. The analysis of the reaction products was based on isolated yields, which were calculated based on the amount of N,N’-dialkylcarbodiimides used.

The research focuses on the synthesis and evaluation of a library of 21 α-D- and β-D-glucopyranosyl triazoles using CuI-catalyzed azide alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC), also known as 'click chemistry'. The study investigates the reactant tolerance, reaction rate, product structure, and glucosidase inhibitory properties of these synthesized compounds. The reactants used include isomeric α- and β-glucopyranosyl azides and various commercially available alkynes with different functional groups. The synthesis was optimized using different reaction conditions, including variations in temperature and solvent, and was analyzed using techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, ES mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography to confirm the structure and purity of the products. The synthesized triazoles were then assayed for their ability to inhibit sweet almond β-glucosidase (GH1) and yeast α-glucosidase (GH13), providing insights into the relationship between the anomeric configuration of the inhibitors and their inhibitory activity towards specific enzymes.

The reactions produced 2-sulfenyl pyrroles in good to excellent yields and with high selectivity, without the need for any ligands or additives. The study also explored the scope of this methodology with various substituted pyrroles, disul?des, and thiols, demonstrating its general applicability and potential for synthesizing complex sulfenyl pyrroles.
