Polymer-Supported Cu–Nanoparticle as an Efficient and Recyclable Catalyst for Oxidative Homocoupling of Terminal Alkynes
Abstract
Copper nanoparticle on polyaniline support was synthesised by using in situ polymerisation and composite formation technique. This metal polymer nanocomposites material is found to be efficient for homocoupling of terminal alkynes which afford symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-diynes in excellent yields under a mild reaction condition using piperidine as a base and dichloromethane at room temperature within 1–8 h. The reusability of the catalyst was also investigated and found to yield excellent yields upto six cycles without losing significant activity.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform. Clicks to view the full text will be directed to the publisher website, where only users with subscriptions or access through their institution are able to view the full article.
