Abstract

We have developed a microreactor with immobilized Cu(I) catalyst on the surfaces to use for Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions. The presence of immobilized Cu(I) was confirmed visually with bright-field microscopy and also with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Cu(I) immobilized reactors were validated with reactions between simple alkynes and azides to confirm the efficacy of the Cu(I) catalyst. The microreactors were then utilized to synthesize a molecular imaging probe precursor.
