"Flash" solvent-free synthesis of triazoles using a supported catalyst

Molecules. 2009 Jan 22;14(1):528-39. doi: 10.3390/molecules14010528.

Abstract

A solvent-free synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles using neat azides and alkynes and a copper(I) polymer supported catalyst (Amberlyst) A21*CuI) is presented herein. As it provides the products in high yields and purities within minutes, this method thus being characterized as a "flash" synthesis, and was exemplified through the synthesis of a 24-compound library on a small scale.
