Abstract:
The widespread application of 1,2,3-triazoles in pharmaceuticals has resulted in substantial interest toward developing efficient postmodification methods. Whereas there are many postmodification methods available to obtain N1-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, developing a selective and convenient protocol to synthesize N2-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles has been challenging. We report a catalyst-free and regioselective method to access N2-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles in good to excellent yields (66-97%). This scalable postmodification protocol is effective for a wide range of substrates.

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.
