Herein, the syntheses of various functionalized 1,3-diisopropyltriaz-1-enes is described. This simple transformation tolerates a vast number of functional groups (e.g., halides) and allows the syntheses of 1,3-diisopropyltriaz-1-enes starting from commercially available aniline derivatives. These substrates are suitable for a range of silver-mediated perfluoroalkylation reactions.
Key words
