Abstract

Copper(I)-accelerated Huisgen-Meldal dipolar cycloaddition reactions between polyfluoroalkyl azides and propargyl ethers of n-octanol and of triethyleneglycol monomethyl ether exhibited variation in yield of 1,2,3-triazol-4-ylmethyl ethers. Microwave acceleration, and in situ generation of the azides, provided improvements in yield and efficiency. In contrast, very good yields of equivalent fluorous triazoles were obtained from a range of n-alkyl azides with propargyl ethers of perfluorohexylethanol and of perfluoroheptylmethanol through conventional copper(I)-promoted reactions. Together, the resulting substances with systematic variations in polyfluoroalkyl and alkyl substituent length and position of substitution, and degree of oxygen content, make up small libraries of hybrid fluorous 1,2,3-triazol-4-ylmethyl ethers as candidates for study as hydrophilic fluorous surfactants. In addition, a pilot sample of di(1,2,3-triazol-4-ylmethyl) ethers with 1′-octyl-1- polyfluoroalkyl-substituents and 1′-nonyl-1-perfluorooctylethyl substituents were synthesised for the first time in an effort to develop more functional, fluorous surfactants. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
