Abstract

A heretofore unexplored library of 1,4-benzoquinone-containing 1,2,3-triazoles was prepared by the application of a highly regioselective copper(I)-catalyzed process. Furthermore, the utilization of this novel triazole-1,4-benzoquinone system as an interesting class of extended, branched molecules for the construction of new supramolecular architectures is presented.

Key words

benzoquinones - azides - triazoles - copper(I) catalysis - regioselectivity
