The copper(I)-catalyzed 1,2,3-triazole-forming reaction between azides and terminal alkynes has become the gold standard of 'click chemistry' due to its reliability, specificity, and biocompatibility. Applications of click chemistry are increasingly found in all aspects of drug discovery; they range from lead finding through combinatorial chemistry and target-templated in vitro chemistry, to proteomics and DNA research by using bioconjugation reactions. The triazole products are more than just passive linkers; they readily associate with biological targets, through hydrogen-bonding and dipole interactions. The present review will focus mainly on the recent literature for applications of this reaction in the field of medicinal chemistry, in particular on use of the 1,2,3-triazole moiety as pharmacophore.

Water: Nature’s Reaction Enforcer—Comparative Effects for Organic Synthesis “In-Water” and “On-Water”

A one-pot, multi-component, green, and highly efficient procedure has been developed for synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones. Use of β-cyclodextrin-SO3H as an eco-friendly and recyclable catalyst resulted in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. This procedure has the advantages of readily available starting materials, short reaction times, high yields, easy workup, broad substrate scope, and use of an environment-friendly catalyst. The catalyst can be recycled with slight loss of its catalytic activity.

β-Cyclodextrin-SO3H-catalyzed facile and highly efficient synthesis of 4-thiazolidinones under solvent free conditions

Sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHS0 4 ), n-tetra butyl ammonium bromide (TBAB) as a phase transfer catalyst (PTC) in water, and 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulphate [bmim]HS0 4 as ionic liquid (IL) has been used as a mild reaction promoter for the cyclocondensation of formalin, β-naphthol and aromatic amines to afford respective 2,3-dihydro-2-phenyl-1H-naphtho-[1,2-e] [1,3] oxazine derivatives. The present protocols are greener, high yielding and involved the non-chromatographic isolation procedure.
