Trimethylsilyl-directed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions in the solid-phase synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles

[reaction: see text] A regioselective method for the preparation of 1,5-trisubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 1-trimethylsilylacetylenes with organoazides is described. Immobilization of the azide on REM resin and subsequent cycloaddition afforded a 2 x 2 x 4 x 3 membered 1,5-disubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazole library with an average purified yield of 68%.
