Synthesis of hybrid 1,2,3-triazolo-δ-lactams/lactones using Huisgen [3+2] cycloaddition ‘click-chemistry’ in water

The synthesis of a new class of hybrid 1,2,3-triazozlo-δ-lactams/lactones has been achieved using the Huisgen [3+2] dipolar cycloaddition ‘click-chemistry’ reaction of various organic azides with an activated alkyne in water, followed by cyclization.
