A NHC-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of allyl ketones with azides has been developed. This strategy could generate 1,4,5-trisubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high yields and regioselectivities in the presence of a 20 mol% N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst. A broad substrate scope of this process is also presented.
