terminal alkynes in the ruthenium(II)-catalyzed regiospecific azide–alkyne cycloaddition to afford 4-cyano-1,2,3-triazoles. A mechanistic proposal different from the one that terminal alkynes adopt under the same reaction conditions is proposed. This work provides a new and convenient two-step sequence to prepare 4-cyano-1,2,3-triazoles from terminal alkynes and organicazides.
A copper-catalyzed reaction of terminal alkynes with cyanogen iodide (ICN) that produces alkynyl cyanides has been developed. The use of tetramethylpiperidine as a sterically congested base was successful in this reaction. Some control experiments revealed that the reaction involves the noncatalyzed formation of alkynyl iodides followed by copper-catalyzed cyanation of the iodides without the formation
