Facile and quick synthesis of 1-monosubstituted aryl 1,2,3-triazoles: a copper-free [3+2] cycloaddition

An efficient copper-free synthesis of 1-monosubstituted aryl 1,2,3-triazoles from sodium acetylide and aryl azides was developed, which was found suitable for various aryl azides and completed within 15 min at room temperature with moderate to excellent yields.
