Abstract

Tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amines are superior accelerating ligands for the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The water-soluble ligand (BimC4A)3 was found to be especially convenient for the rapid and high-yielding synthesis of several functionalized triazoles with 0.01-0.5 mol % Cu.
