Functionalization of 2-(S)-isopropyl-5-iodo-pyrimidin-4-ones through Cu(I)-mediated 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloadditions

A series of 2-(S)-isopropyl-pyrimidinones functionalized at C5 with triazole rings, in which the substituents are found at N-1′ of the triazole ring, were synthesized. Through the azide-acetylene cycloaddition reaction, using CuI as a copper source and ultrasonic waves as an energy source it was possible to obtain products with yields ranging from 79% to 89% within 5 min or less. A preliminary study to gain further insight into the reaction was performed using in situ ReactIR technology.
