Metal- and Base-Free Three-Component Reaction of Ynones, Sodium Azide, and Alkyl Halides: Highly Regioselective Synthesis of 2,4,5-Trisubstituted 1,2,3-NH-Triazoles

A base- and metal-free three-component reaction of ynones, sodium azide, and alkyl halides is developed for the regioselective synthesis of 2,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles. The method is general, convenient, environmentally benign, atom-economical, and high-yielding.
