Click chemistry focuseso nt he development of highly selectiver eactionsu sing simple precursors for the exquisite synthesis of molecules. Undisputedly,t he Cu I -catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC)i so ne of the most valuable examples of click chemistry, but it suffersf rom some limitations as it requires additional reducing agents and ligands as well as cytotoxic copper. Here, we demonstrate an ovel strategy for the azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction that involves ap hotoredox electron-transfer radical mechanism insteado ft he traditional metal-catalyzed coordination process.T his newly developed photocatalyzeda zidealkyne cycloaddition reaction can be performed under mild conditions at room temperature in the presence of air and visiblel ight ands hows good functional group tolerance, excellenta tom economy, highy ields of up to 99 %, and absolute regioselectivity,a ffordingavariety of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, including bioactive molecules and pharmaceuticals. The use of ar ecyclable photocatalyst,s olar energy, andw ater as solventm akes this photocatalytic systems ustainable and environmentally friendly.M oreover, the azide-alkyne cycloadditionr eaction could be photocatalyzed in the presenceo fametal-free catalyst with excellent regioselectivity,w hich represents an important development for click chemistry and should find versatile applicationsi n organic synthesis, chemical biology,and materials science.[a] Dr.Scheme1.Structures of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles and strategies for their synthesis.
