Abstract

Coumarin-based triazoles were synthesized from 3-azidomethylcoumarin and a terminal acetylenic compound. Uncatalysed thermal conditions result in a mixture of both 1,4- and 1,5-regioisomers or the thermodynamically more stable 1,4-regioisomer, whereas the Cu(I)-catalysed reaction affords only the favourable 1,4-regioisomer. B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory has been used to calculate geometry and frequency features of the reactants, transition states (TSs) and products. Computational studies further reveal that 1,4-regioisomeric products are more favourable and also thermodynamically more stable compared to the 1,5-regioisomers.
