Significance

A highly regioselective heterogeneously catalyzed [3+2] cycloaddition of primary alkynes with azides to afford triazoles in good to excellent yields is reported. Five different synthesized Cu(I)-modified zeolites have been investigated. Only terminal alkynes and aryl and benzyl azides have been tested in this reaction.
