ABSTRACT: Click reaction of propargyl methacrylate (1) with 6I-azido-6I-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose (2) was
carried out to synthesize mono-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)(methyl)2-methylacryl-β-cyclodextrin (3). The process
was investigated by varying the reaction time, temperature profiles, and copper catalyst. Microwave irradiation
was compared with conventional heating. The microwave-assisted Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition affords the
complete conversion of (2) into 1,4-disubstituted triazole in a significant decreased reaction time. Under microwave
conditions, the cycloaddition of (2) onto poly(propargyl methacrylate) (5) was conducted in excellent yields. The
regioselectivity of click reactions in dependence of reaction conditions was evaluated by use of NMR spectroscopy.
The reactions performed under microwave conditions led exclusively to 1,4-disubstituted triazole, while the
conventional heating led to a regioisomeric mixture.

polymer chemistry. For example, they are used to complex
water-insoluble monomers and polymers.

The microwave-assisted copper-catalyzed 1,3-
dipolar cycloaddition received recently much attention due its
ability to afford a complete and regioselective conversion with
a significant decrease in reaction time. Although click reactions
are known in the cyclodextrin chemistry,

their use to obtain

chromatographic purification.

By applying click reaction,
cyclodextrin monomethacrylate can be obtained in high yields;
the purification by chromatographic methods is not required,
and the installation and removal of protecting groups are
avoided. The triazol linker is relatively stable toward cleavage,
oxidation, or reduction. Since 1,3-cycloaddition of 6-monoazido-
6-monodeoxy-β-cyclodextrin with propargyl derivatives under
the synergistic effects of copper catalysis and microwave
irradiation was less investigated, we decided to explore different
reaction parameters in order to provide an easy and efficient
way to obtain polymerizable cyclodextrin monomethacrylates.
Furthermore, we describe the click reaction of 6I-azido-6I-

The temperature was measured by infrared detection with continuous feedback temperature control and maintained at a constant value by power modulation. Reactions were performed in closed vessels under controlled pressure as well as in standard open vessels under reflux conditions. Synthesis of the Triazol-CD-Monomer (3). The reaction of 6I- azido-6I-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose ( 2 ) (116 mg, 0.1 mmol) with 2-propynyl 2-methacrylate 2 (24.80 mg, 0.2 mmol) was carried out in DMF, in the presence of Cu(I) generated in situ by the reduction of copper sulfate (1.2 mg, 0.005 mmol) with sodium ascorbate (1. mg, 0.01 mmol). The product was separated by simple filtration after precipitation with acetone (50 mL). We carried out microwave- assisted cycloaddition, by adding 2-propynyl 2-methacrylate ( 1 ) (24.80 mg, 0.2 mmol) to a solution of 6I-azido-6I-deoxycycloma- ltoheptaose ( 2 ) (116 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 2 mL of DMF in a pressure- resistant test tube. Sodium ascorbate (4 mg, 0.02 mmol) and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (2.50 mg, 0.01 mmol) were added to the clear solution. The tube was placed in the CEM monomode microwave and irradiated at 140 °C and 100 W for 30 min. After precipitating the reaction mixture with acetone, 108 mg of product was isolated (84% yield). In order to ensure the equivalence of the reaction parameters, we conducted the reaction under reflux conditions, in oil bath as well as under microwave irradiation.

Results and Discussion

We carried out the “click reaction” of propargyl meth-

acrylate ( 1 ) with 6I-azido-6I-deoxycyclomaltoheptaose ( 2 )

to synthesize the new monomer mono-(1 H -1,2,3-triazol-4-

yl)(methyl)2-methylacryl--cyclodextrin ( 3 ) useful for the

design of polymeric supramolecular architectures. Because

of our interest in optimizing the process, we focused on the

synergistic effects of microwave irradiation and Cu(I)

catalysis. Although the conditions of the microwave-assisted

reaction cannot be easily reproduced by the conventional

heating, we duplicated some controllable parameters, such

as temperature, time, catalyst, and solvent in order to ensure

the comparability of the procedures. The active copper(I)

catalytic species were generated in situ by reduction of CuSO 4

with sodium ascorbate. We used N , N -dimethylformamide as

solvent due its high dielectric constant, high boiling point,

and ability to solve both starting materials. We performed

also the process in water, but no reaction occurred under

microwave irradiation. Regarding our interest to investigate

the microwave effect on the Cu(I)-mediated cycloaddition

and the possible interaction between the dielectric irradiation

and the metal catalysis, we approached three different

procedures. Cu(I)-free cycloaddition conducted in N , N -

dimethylformamide took place rapidly under MW irradiation.

Applying the conventional heating, we obtained slowly a

relatively low conversion, which remained constant with

increasing reaction time (Figure 1).

Cu(I)-mediated click reaction conducted under microwave

irradiation favored the selective 1,4-conversion in 3 (Figure 2).

The reaction was completed after 30 min. In contrast, the

oil bath procedure under similar conditions afforded a mixture

of 3 and 4 with a relatively high conversion in 3 after

increased reaction time (Figure 3).

The regioisomeric proportion was determined by 1 H NMR

spectroscopy. The chemical shifts of the triazole ring protons

were used to distinguish isomers 3 and 4. The H4 proton of the

1,5-disubstituted triazole is located at 8.23 ppm. The resonance

of the H5 proton of the 1,4-disubstituted triazol isomer is at

8.13 ppm.

Without any heating, the cycloaddition proceeded regiose-

lectively; however, extremely increased reaction time is required

(74% conversion after 1 week).

As mentioned above, the Huisgen cycloaddition is not a

selective process, while Cu(I)-mediated reactions afford

exclusively 1,4-disubstituted regioisomers. 16,17^ As the mild

catalyzed reaction resulted in extremely long reaction time, we

disappearance of the specific IR bands for azide and CtCH

bonds at 2100 and 2135 cm-^1 and the presence of the peaks

for the hydroxyl groups of cyclodextrin at 3317 cm-^1 as well

as of the new peaks at 1558 and 1387 cm-^1 , indicating the

appearance of N-H and C-N bonds. The presence of the

triazole ring was also confirmed by NMR spectroscopy at 8.

ppm.

The size of polymers 6a and 6b was investigated in N , N -

dimethylformamide solution by DLS measurements. As ex-

pected, the hydrodynamic radius increased significantly after

the cycloaddition of 2 onto poly(propargyl methacrylate) ( 5 ).

Surprisingly, however, the yield of the product resulted after

microwave coupling reaction was significantly higher compared

to conventional coupling under oil bath conditions (Figure 5).

DLS measurements were also carried out for poly-

(monomethacrylate cyclodextrin) ( 6c ) in DMF solution. The

low hydrodynamic radius (5 nm) suggests intrachain interac-

tions due to cyclodextrin units. By repeating the measurement

using adamantyl carboxylate as guest molecules, we noticed

a slightly increased hydrodynamic radius (6 nm), which can

be the result of electrostatic repulsion between the carboxylate

groups and because of reducing the H-bonds interaction

between the dimerized cyclodextrin rings (Figure 6). Similar

results were obtained by exposure to LiCl (10%) as a conse-

quence of breaking the intrachain H-bond interactions.

Conclusions

On the basis of the advantages conferred by the MW-

assisted Cu-catalyzed “click reaction”, we developed an

elegant and efficient approach for the synthesis of polymer-

izable cyclodextrin monomethacrylate, under complete struc-

tural control and with an important decrease in the reaction

time. IR and NMR measurements correlated with DLS

investigations confirmed the polymerization of cyclodextrin

monomethacrylates as well as the coupling of 6I-azido-6I-

deoxycyclomaltoheptaose ( 2 ) with the acetylene units placed

onto poly(propargyl methacrylate) ( 5 ). The resulting polymer

with a significant content of covalently attached cyclodextrins

has potential applications in supramolecular chemistry, drug

delivery, and analytics.
