Abstract

A new method of azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC) in the presence of Zn(OAc)₂ as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly catalyst in neat water has been developed. The proposed methodology has been applied for the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles from terminal alkynes and 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles from internal alkynes. It has been found that Zn-catalyzed AAC is extremely sensitive to steric hindrance in acetylenes and a method of regioselective triazole ring formation has been proposed. Particularly important is the isolation and characterization of a relatively stable Zn-containing intermediate, which has been characterized by NMR and HRMS.
