Abstract

An efficient method is described for the regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles (β-keto-1,2,3-triazoles) in good to excellent yields by the successive treatment of secondary alcohols with [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (Koser’s reagent, HTIB), sodium azide followed by copper(I) iodide catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with terminal alkynes.

Key words

β-keto-1,2,3-triazoles - 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition - secondary alcohols - α-tosyloxylation - copper iodide - terminal alkynes
