Abstract

A catalytic amount of 2-ethynylpyridine promotes the copper(I) chloride catalyzed reaction of azides with alkynes in water at room temperature to afford 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in good yields. Electron-rich, electron-poor, and sterically crowded substrates can be converted. A study of the additive effect of pyridine derivatives revealed that alkynyl and 2-pyridyl groups were essential for activating the copper catalyst.
