Abstract

CuI-zeolites proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the one-pot two-step synthesis of triazoles from halides or tosylates, sodium azide, and alkynes. The step and atom economies of this cascade reaction as well as water used as solvent and catalyst recycling make such synthesis a trully green process. With selected substrates, the peculiar roles of CuI-zeolites as catalysts were highlighted.
