Rhodium‐Catalyzed Atroposelective Click Cycloaddition of Azides and Alkynes

The cycloaddition of azides and alkynes is the leading click chemistry technology and has been widely used in drug discovery, biology and material sciences. However, the development of a modular and scalable enantioselective click cycloaddition remains a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective click cycloaddition of azides and alkynes for rapid and modular access to atropisomeric triazoles in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The process is mild, efficient and scalable, and features broad substrate scope.
