Organocatalytic 1,3-dipolar [3+3] cycloaddition reaction of 1,2-cyclohexanedione with azides: direct access to highly substituted 1,2,3-triazoles†
Abstract
Enamine-mediated 1,3-dipolar [3+3] cycloaddition reactions of 1,2-cyclohexanedione with azides have been developed. This strategy could generate highly substituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high yields and high levels of regioselectivities. It has been demonstrated that various types of products could be obtained using different organocatalysts and substrates.
