'Green' synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles under neat conditions, and an efficient approach of construction of 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in one pot

An environmentally friendly and efficient method for synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 5-iodo-1,2,3-triazoles through [Cu(phen)(PPh3)2]NO3-catalyzed cycloaddition of organic azides and iodoalkynes under solvent-free conditions was developed. Based on this, a one-pot method for the synthesis of fully substituted 1,2,3-triazoles via cycloaddition/Suzuki reactions was also demonstrated in this report.
