Abstract:
A novel and efficient fragment-based assembly of symmetrical bis-peptidotraizoles has been developed based on double Sharpless azide-alkyne click chemistry. A new Cu(II) catalyzed protocol with a wide substrate scope was developed for accessing the symmetrical alkylidene bis-azidoamide fragment that yields the products in very good yields at room temperature without employing column purifications. The propargylated β-acetamido ketone fragment was accessed using another Cu(II) catalyzed room temperature MCR protocol. A fast double-click reaction (2 h) of symmetrical alkylidene bis-azidoamides with propargylated β-acetamido ketone fragments leads to the formation of unusual symmetrical bis-peptidotriazoles.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
