Abstract
The regioselective copper-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions of pseudo-geminal bis(azido-methylene)[2.2]paracyclophane with terminal alkynes have provided the corresponding pseudo-geminal bis(1,2,3-triazoles). The precursor bis(azide) was synthesized from the corresponding pseudo-geminal bis(bromide) and sodium azide by a solvent-dependent reaction. X-ray structural analyses of the addition products demonstrate that the corresponding click reactions proceed regioselectively.
