V. Melai et al., HIGH-PRESSURE ASSISTED 1,3-DIPOLAR CYCLOADDITIONS - FORMATION OF 1,2,3-TRIAZOLES FROM ARYL AZIDES AND (TRIMETHYLSILYL)ACETYLENE, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. II (Print), (11), 1998, pp. 2447-2449
The cycloaddition of aryl azides to the corresponding 1,2,3-triazoles
has been studied by means of FTIR spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell
at pressures up to 1 GPa. The rate of reaction increases logarithmica
lly with pressure and the yield is close to quantitative.
