Efficient synthesis of allylic azides and one-pot regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from homoallyl alcohols

This protocol is for an expedient and operationally simple synthesis of allylic azides and one-pot synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles from homoallyl alcohols. Synthesis of allylic azides involves the palladium-catalyzed hydroazidation of unactivated olefins with migration of double bond. This hydroazidation can be coupled to Cu(I) promoted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to afford the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles.
