Abstract
A well-defined copper(I) isonitrile complex is an efficient, heterogeneous catalyst for azide-alkyne cycloadditions and three-component reactions of halides, sodium azide and alkynes to form 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high yields under mild conditions in water. The complex can be recycled for at least five runs without significant loss of activity by simple precipitation and filtration.
