The copper catalyst was used to provide 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles regioselectively in good yields.

Protoc. 2010; 5: 607 32 Click Synthesis of 1,2,3-Triazoles 5a–s: General Procedure Cu(OAc)2·H2O (24 mg, 0.1 equiv) and NaAsc (23 mg, 0.1 equiv) were added to a stirred solution of 4-(1-adamantyl)benzyl azide (3; 0.32 g, 1.2 mmol) and the appropriate terminal alkyne 4 (1.2 mmol) in DMF (5 mL). The mixture was then stirred for 2–3 h at r.t. until the starting material was completely consumed (TLC). Sat. brine was added to the mixture and the crude product was extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL). The combined extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography [silica gel, EtOAc–PE (1:3)]. 33 {1-[4-(1-Adamantyl)benzyl]-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methanol (5b) White solid; yield: 314 mg (81%); mp 168 °C.
