The Use of Copper Flow Reactor Technology for the Continuous Synthesis of 1,4‐Disubstituted 1,2,3‐Triazoles

A library of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles was synthesized using a copper flow reactor. Organic azides, generated in situ from alkyl halides and sodium azide, were reacted with acetylenes using the copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. This process eliminates both the handling of organic azides and the need for additional copper catalyst and permits the facile preparation of numerous triazoles in a continuous flow process.
