Key Points

C–C bond formation at position five of the 1,2,3-triazole was observed, correcting previous misidentifications.
Employing calibrated quantum mechanical (QM(DFT-D3)) calculations fully explained the reaction mechanism involved in this process.
Functionalization of primary products yielded various substituted compounds, including pyrimidine and furan.
The findings may enable novel synthetic routes in organic chemistry by revealing new pathways for complex molecule synthesis.

Abstract

A reaction between azide, alkyne and 2H-azirine resulted in C–C bond formation at position five of 1,2,3-triazole, instead of previously misidentified C–N bond connectivity. The reaction mechanism of this C–C bond formation on the triazole ring was fully explained by employing calibrated QM(DFT-D3) calculations. Functionalization of primary products provided substituted pyrimidine, furan or 1,3-oxazepine.
