Alkyne-Azide Cycloaddition Catalyzed by Silver Chloride and “Abnormal” Silver N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complex

الملخص EN

A library of 1,2,3-triazoles was synthesized from diverse alkynes and azides using catalytic amounts of silver chloride instead of copper compounds.

In addition, a novel “abnormal” silver N-heterocyclic carbene complex was tested as catalyst in this process.

The results suggest that the reaction requires only 0.5% of silver complex, affording 1,2,3-triazoles in good yields.
