General description

This productaligns with the Green Chemistry Principle of Catalysis. It is a versatile catalyst for regioselective 3+2 cycloaddition of azides and alkynes (RuAAC), producing 1,5-disubstituted triazoles. Click here for more information.

Application

Catalyst employed in the cycloaddtion of azides with acetylenes giving exclusively the 1,5-disubstitutedtriazoles in contrast to the 1,4-regiochemistry commonly observed with copper catalysis. Ruthenium catalysis also enables the use of internal acetylenes in these "click cycloaddtions".
Versatile catalyst for living radical polymerization
