Synthesis of polymerizable vinyltriazoles: development of an optimized one-pot strategy starting from 4-bromobutyneElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Experimental procedure and structural data. See DOI: 10.1039/c3gc37066f

The development and implementation of a safe and scalable process for the preparation of isomeric vinyl-1,2,3-triazoles under mild conditions are described. Key aspects of the route reside in a one-pot click-elimination procedure in aqueous media leading to simple work-up and purification steps with increased overall yields. The development and implementation of a safe and scalable process for the preparation of isomeric vinyl-1,2,3-triazoles under mild conditions are described.
