Abstract:
A copper-catalyzed decarboxylative regioselective protocol for the synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles through direct annulation of cinnamic acids with aryl azides has been developed. This is the first example of 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles, under aerobic conditions using Cu(ii) as the catalyst, which were generally synthesized using a ruthenium(ii) catalyst. The simplicity and regioselectivity of this methodology, complementing to the classical CuAAC catalyzed the synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
