Application

Catalyst employed in the cycloaddtion of azides with acetylenes giving exclusively the 1,5-disubstitutedtriazoles in contrast to the 1,4-regiochemistry commonly observed with copper catalysis. Ruthenium catalysis also enables the use of internal acetylenes in these "click cycloaddtions".

Cp*RuCl(PPh3)2 is an effective catalyst for the regioselective "fusion" of organic azides and terminal alkynes, producing 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Internal alkynes also participate in this catalysis, resulting in fully substituted 1,2,3-triazoles.
