][12], inflammation [13], bacterial [14][15], and viral infections [16]. Hence, new ways to rapidly and efficiently access 1,2,3-triazole heterocyclic motifs are still in demand. However, methods for the direct synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles are limited [17]. This is highly desirable
since the selective introduction of substituents at three different positions on the 1,2,3-triazole ring can augment the features of the molecule. Triazoles are also found in many biologically important molecules and functionalized materials [11][12][13][14][15][16]. 1,4,5-Trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles

Herein, we report the discovery of a novel, one-step regioselective method under mild conditions to obtain 1,4,5-trisubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles from gem-difluoroalkenes

A high number of N-heterocycles [1][2][3][4] are identified, and this number is increasing very quickly [5][6][7][8]. Among them, the small heterocyclic ring of the 1,2,3-triazole is present in a broad variety of

But the use of internal alkynes in CuAACs for the synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted1,2,3-triazoles is a more challenging area because of the difficulty in regiocontrol based on the increased steric hindrance [21][22].

Mononuclear mechanistic proposals are also worth mentioning in the context of cycloaddition reactions of haloalkynes and internal alkynes with organoazides to give 1,4,5-trisubstituted
1,2,3-triazoles.
In 2005, the group of Rutjes reported the synthesis of 5-bromo-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazoles starting from 1-bromoalkynes [155]. In their optimized procedure, the bromoalkyne reacts with an azide in the presence of 5 mol % copper(I) iodide and 5 mol % copper(II) acetate in THF at 50
