The Cu(I)-catalyzed ligation reaction of organic azides and terminal alkynes to generate 1,2,3-triazoles enjoys wide substrate scope, mild reaction conditions and very high yields. One of the very few drawbacks of the reaction is the fact that some azides, particularly low molecular weight compounds and small molecule polyazides, are unstable and certain classes of azide starting materials are difficult to prepare. We present a high yielding one-pot route to aryl triazoles from a variety of readily available aryl halides. Synthetic advantages as well as mechanistic considerations will be discussed.
