    Abstract

    The reaction between 3,6,9-trithia-1(2,6)-pyridinacyclodecaphane and representative group 10 and 11 metal salts [Cu(NO3)2, NiCl2 or Ag(CF3CO2 )] afforded 1:1 complexes which in the case of Cu(II) and Ag(I) were characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The catalytic activity of these complexes in A3-coupling reactions between aldehydes, terminal alkynes and amines was assessed in both protic (water) and aprotic (toluene) media. These A3-reactions prove to be more efficient, proceed with lower catalyst loadings and with faster reaction rates, when conducted in a focused microwave reactor as compared to the same reactions promoted by standard, thermal, modes of activation
