• mechanism of this transformation involved a single electron transfer reaction of the Cu(I) catalyst with TBPC to afford a tert-butoxy radical, which then reacts with 85 by abstracting a hydrogen atom to afford carbon radical species R. Cu(II)-mediated Kochi-type radical oxidation of R generated the iminium

• %, 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

• 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.

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
