Abstract

A dicopper-substituted γ-Keggin silicotungstate acts as an efficient precatalyst for the regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of organic azides to alkynes. Various substrates were efficiently converted to the corresponding 1,2,3-triazole derivatives in excellent yields without any additives. Computational studies show that the reduced dicopper core plays an important role.
