The green and highly efficient synthesis of N2-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles remains challenging due to the lower electron density at the N2-atom than that at two terminal nitrogen atoms (N1 and N3) of the triazole heterocycle. Cheap and easily available alcohols were developed as starting points to couple with N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole instead of halogenated reagents catalyzed by in-situ generated sulfonic acid. The resulting products, N2-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles, were obtained with high regioselectivity and in good yields (68%~83%) without any additional catalysts or additives. The reaction has a broad substrate adaptability and functional group compatibility, including aryl benzyl and alkyl alcohols. Preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that methanesulfonic acid (MsOH) which in situ produced by the hydrolysis of N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles promoted the reaction, and high regioselectivity was promoted through the thermally stable intermediate N2H-1,2,3-triazole.
