High pressure assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions: formation of 1,2,3-triazoles from aryl azides and (trimethylsilyl)acetylene
Abstract
The cycloaddition of aryl azides to the corresponding 1,2,3-triazoles has been studied by means of FTIR spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell at pressures up to 1 GPa. The rate of reaction increases logarithmically with pressure and the yield is close to quantitative.
