Efficient TMG catalyzed synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles

A practical and efficient method for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles via the cycloaddition reaction of azides and CH-acids in the presence of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (TMG) in ethanol at 30 °C has been reported. The simple experimental procedure, short reaction times, and good yields are the advantages of the present method.
