Highly efficient click chemistry between azides and terminal alkynes can be heterogeneously catalyzed by copper nanoparticles mounted within the pores of activated charcoal. Reactions can be accelerated with stoichiometric Et3N or by increasing the reaction temperature using microwave irradiation.

The CuI-catalyzed, stepwise cycloaddition of azides to terminal alkynes exhibits broad scope and provides 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in excellent yields and high regioselectivity.

A copper(I)-catalyzed three-component reaction of amines, propargyl halides and azides forms 1-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-ylmethyl)-dialkylamines in water. Synthetic advantages are high atom economy, low environmental impact, atmospheric oxygen, wide substrate scope, mild reaction condition and good yields.

A method for the regiospecific synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazole catalyzed by copper(I) iodide was developed. This is the first example of a regiospecific synthesis of 5-iodo-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole, which can be further elaborated to a range of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazole derivatives.

1,2,3-Triazoles were prepared in good to modest yields by cycloaddition of alkyl azides onto enol ethers under solventless conditions. The reaction can access ring-fused triazoles that are unavailable by azide-alkyne cycloadditions and is easily scalable. The 1,2,3-triazole products bear functionality that may be readily derivatized.

The synthesis of aromatic azides from the corresponding amines is accomplished under mild conditions with tert-butyl nitrite and azidotrimethylsilane. 1,4-Disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were obtained in excellent yields from various aromatic amines without the need for isolation of the azide intermediates.

Triazoles have been synthesized via a three-component coupling reaction of unactivated terminal alkynes, allyl carbonate, and trimethylsiyl azide under Pd(0)-Cu(I) bimetallic catalysis. The deallylation of the resulting allyltriazoles is described.

TBAF-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions of 2-aryl-1-cyano- or 2-aryl-1-carbethoxy-1-nitroethenes with TMSN3 under solvent free conditions allow the preparation of 4-aryl-5-cyano- or 4-aryl-5-carbethoxy-1H-1,2,3-triazoles under mild reaction conditions with good to excellent yields.
