• %, Table 1, entry 1). To check the role of our Cu(I) catalyst, we performed the same reaction under similar conditions in the absence of the copper catalyst (Table 1, entry 2). To our surprise, the same product spot was noticed on TLC plate and further work-up and purification afforded the product in

• the reaction of the Cu(I) catalyst and ethynylstibane 1. Complex A coordinates with an organic azide to give complex B. Cyclization proceeds via a vinylidene-like transition state C to give 5-stibanotriazole 3. To test the reactivity of 5-stibanotriazole 3a was treated with hydrochloric acid, halogens

• excess cannot be considered a disadvantage of the method. Additionally, use of the inexpensive Cu(I) catalyst allows to avoid Buchwald–Hartwig amination [24][25], which employs more expensive Pd-based catalysts for a similar type of C–N coupling reactions. In a typical procedure, 1 equiv of MPTTF 7a, 7b

• azides (Scheme 25) [85]. Advantages of this reaction are the kinetic stability of both functional groups under a range of different conditions. Also, the triazole products can be formed in both organic and aqueous solvents and by using the Cu(I)-catalyst which induces regioselective formation of the 1,4
