Abstract
A facile and green synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1H-1,2,3-triazoles is reported. The reaction of α-azido ketones and terminal alkynes in the presence of [CuSO4 (H2O)5/sodium ascorbate] in a mixture of H2O/polyethylene glycol 400 as solvent afforded the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted triazoles at ambient temperature with short reaction times and at high yields. The corresponding α-azido ketones were directly prepared in situ from various substituted styrenes using the oxidant cerium ammonium nitrate and sodium azide in oxygen-saturated methanol.
