Abstract

A combination of CuSO₄-ascorbate/1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane/acetic acid enables an expeditious room temperature synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from terminal alkynes and various azides, such as aryl, alkyl, and sulfonyl azides. Acetic acid accelerates the protonation of cuprated triazole and thus avoids possible side reactions. Devoid of acetic acid, the reaction pathway results in the formation of sulfonamides.
