A convenient and efficient synthesis of C-carbamoyl-1,2,3-triazoles from alkyl bromide by a one-pot sequential addition: conversion of ester to amide using Zr(Ot-Bu)4

A convenient and efficient one-pot sequence has been developed for the synthesis of C-carbamoyl-1,2,3-triazoles from alkyl bromide using (i) sodium azide, (ii) methyl propiolate and copper iodide, and (iii) amines, zirconium tert-butoxide, and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, under microwave irradiation. The sequential reactions in one-pot provided the desired C-carbamoyl-1,2,3-triazoles in excellent yields.
