Abstract
A synthesis of 1-monosubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles was achieved using azides and propiolic acid by copper-catalyzed click cycloaddition/decarboxylation in N,N-dimethylformamide at room temperature or 60˚C in good yields. The reaction conditions were found to be successful for aryl and vinyl azide reactants and tolerate various functionalities.
