Fullerene-Attached Polymeric Homogeneous/Heterogeneous Photoactivators for Visible-Light-Induced CuAAC Click Reactions
In
this work, a visible-light-induced copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne
cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction via an electron transfer reaction
employing fullerene (C<sub>60</sub>) containing linear polystyrene
and network polymer as homogeneous and heterogeneous activators, PS-C<sub>60</sub> and Gel-C<sub>60</sub>, respectively, is described. Various
low molar mass organic and polymeric azide and alkyne compounds are
used to conduct the click reaction, and almost quantitative yields
are attained. Compared to the bare C<sub>60</sub>, the polymers with
C<sub>60</sub> units exhibited a much higher promoting effect to catalyze
CuAAC reactions
