Synthesis of Novel 1,4-Benzoquinone-Containing 1,2,3-Triazoles: An Entry Into a New Library

A heretofore unexplored library of 1,4-benzoquinone-containing 1,2,3-triazoles was prepared by the application of a highly regioselective copper(1)-catalyzed process. Furthermore, the utilization of this novel triazole-1,4-benzoquinone system as an interesting class of extended, branched molecules for the construction of new supramolecular architectures is presented.
