Iron-Catalyzed C-O Bond Activation for the Synthesis of Propargyl-1,2,3-triazoles and 1,1-Bis-triazoles

The FeCl(3)-catalyzed triazole propargylation was developed. This transformation was suitable for a large scope of substituted propargyl alcohols, giving the corresponding propargyl triazoles In excellent yields (up to 96%). Further derivatization produced the 1,1-bis-triazoles in excellent yields and regioselectivity, which could be applied as potential transition metal ligands or new reagents.
