Abstract

An efficient general synthetic approach giving a facile, rapid and inexpensive access to a wide range of novel 1,2,3-triazoles bearing closo-dodecaborate fragment has been developed. The method is based on the nucleophilic cleavage of oxonium dodecaborate with NaN3 or tertiary propargylamine and subsequent Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition ("click" methodology) of the cleavage products and organic acetylenes or azides.
