“… 19 The CuAAC variant of this reaction is not readily performed, and methods based on transiently protected azides have been developed. To enable this reaction under the CuAAC reaction protocol and to avoid handling hazardous hydrazoic acid, N -protected organic azides, such as azidomethyl pivalate, azidomethyl morpholine-4-carboxylate, azidomethyl N , N -diethylcarbamate, 20 trimethylsilyl azide, 21 and α-azidoacetophenone, 22 were demonstrated as viable substrates for the stepwise synthesis of 4-substituted-1 H -1,2,3-triazoles via CuAAC, followed by a deprotection sequence. In the case of the trimethylsilyl azide reaction, TMS- N 1 -protected triazoles were not isolated, suggesting that hydrazoic acid may be involved in the reaction as a reactive species.…”
