Abstract

A multicomponent multicatalyst reaction (MC)(2)R for constructing fully substituted 1,2,3-triazoles is reported. An application of chemoselectivity and latent catalysis in a sequence of multicatalytic reactions confers control over a number of undesired processes, where all of the reagents coexist in the same reaction vessel. The sequence of a chemoselective copper-catalyzed azide alkyne cycloaddition followed by a palladium/copper-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling afforded 1,2,3-triazoles regioselectively with good to high yields and a broad scope.
