ABSTRACT
A practical, straightforward, and highly efficient CuI mediated green protocol for the regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole was developed using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a cheap additive in good to excellent yields. Low catalyst loadings, environmentally friendly solvent, wide substrate scope and short reaction times at room temperature make this strategy more accessible and safe.
