Abstract

A regioselective route to novel mono triazolyl substituted quinolines has been developed via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of 2,4-diazidoquinoline with terminal alkynes in DMF. The reaction provided bis triazolyl substituted quinolines when performed in water in the presence of Et 3N. A number of the compounds synthesized showed promising anti-proliferative properties when tested in vitro especially against breast cancer cells.
