Abstract

An expeditious protocol for the one-pot synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted (β-hydroxy)-1,2,3-triazoles in an aqueous medium has been developed using copper aluminate nanoparticles. This heterogeneous catalytic system was found to drive a multicomponent click reaction between organic azides (generated in situ from epoxides or halides) and terminal aliphatic or aromatic alkynes in up to 96% yield without the need for a reducing agent. Structurally diverse 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized in good to excellent yields, and the catalyst could be easily separated by simple filtration, recycled, and reused in six subsequent cycles.
