Baig, N. AND R. S. Varma. Copper on Chitosan: A Recyclable Heterogeneous Catalyst for Azide-alkyne Cycloaddition Reactions in Water. GREEN CHEMISTRY. RSC Publishing, Cambridge, Uk, 15(7):1839-1843, (2013).

Impact/Purpose:

Submitted for publication to the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) journal, Green Chemistry

Description:

Copper sulfate is immobilized over chitosan by simply stirring an aqueous suspension of chitosan in water with copper sulfate; the ensuing catalyst has been utilized for the azide-alkyne cycloaddition in aqueous media and it can be recycled and reused many time without loosing its activity.
