The standard 1,3-cycloaddition between an azide 1,3-dipole and an alkene as dipolarophile has largely been ignored due to lack of reactivity as a result of electron-poor olefins and elimination side reactions. Some success has been found with non-metal-catalyzed cycloadditions, such as the reactions using dipolarophiles that are electron-poor olefins<ref>{{cite journal |author1=David Amantini |author2=Francesco Fringuelli |author3=Oriana Piermatti |author4=Ferdinando Pizzo |author5=Ennio Zunino |author6=Luigi Vaccaro |name-list-style=amp | title = Synthesis of 4-Aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles through TBAF-Catalyzed [3 + 2] Cycloaddition of 2-Aryl-1-nitroethenes with TMSN3 under Solvent-Free Conditions| year = 2005 | journal = [[The Journal of Organic Chemistry]] | volume = 70 | issue = 16 | pages = 6526–6529|doi = 10.1021/jo0507845|pmid=16050724 }}</ref> or alkynes.

Although azides are not the most reactive 1,3-dipole available for reaction, they are preferred for their relative lack of side reactions and stability in typical synthetic conditions.

Line 44 ⟶ 35:
While the copper(I)-catalyzed variant gives rise to a triazole from a terminal alkyne and an azide, formally it is not a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and thus should not be termed a Huisgen cycloaddition. This reaction is better termed the Copper(I)-catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition (CuAAC).
 
While the reaction can be performed using commercial sources of copper(I) such as cuprous bromide or iodide, the reaction works much better using a mixture of copper(II) (e.g. copper(II) sulfate) and a reducing agent (e.g. sodium ascorbate) to produce Cu(I) in situ. As Cu(I) is unstable in aqueous solvents, stabilizing ligands are effective for improving the reaction outcome, especially if [[tris-(benzyltriazolylmethyl)amine]] (TBTA) is used. The reaction can be run in a variety of solvents, and mixtures of water and a variety of (partially) miscible organic solvents including alcohols, DMSO, DMF, ''t''BuOH and acetone. Owing to the powerful coordinating ability of nitriles towards Cu(I), it is best to avoid acetonitrile as the solvent. The starting reagents need not be completely soluble for the reaction to be successful. In many cases, the product can simply be filtered from the solution as the only purification step required.
 
NH-1,2,3-triazoles are also prepared from alkynes in a sequence called the [[Banert cascade]].

===Copper catalysts===
The use of a Cu catalyst in water was an improvement over the same reaction first popularized by [[Rolf Huisgen]] in the 1970s, which he ran at elevated temperatures.<ref>1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Chemistry, published by Wiley and updated in 2002</ref> The traditional reaction is slow and thus requires high temperatures. However, the azides and alkynes are both kinetically stable.
 
As mentioned above, copper-catalysed click reactions work essentially on terminal alkynes. The Cu species undergo metal insertion reaction into the terminal alkynes. The Cu(I) species may either be introduced as preformed complexes, or are otherwise generated in the reaction pot itself by one of the following ways:
* A Cu<sup>2+</sup> compound (in which copper is present in the +2 oxidation state) is added to the reaction in presence of a reducing agent (e.g. [[sodium ascorbate]]) which reduces the Cu from the (+2) to the (+1) oxidation state. The advantage of generating the Cu(I) species in this manner is it eliminates the need of a base in the reaction. Also the presence of reducing agent makes up for any oxygen which may have gotten into the system. Oxygen oxidises the Cu(I) to Cu(II) which impedes the reaction and results in low yields. One of the more commonly used Cu compounds is CuSO<sub>4</sub>.
* Oxidation of Cu(0) metal
* Halides of copper may be used where solubility is an issue. However, the iodide and bromide Cu salts require either the presence of amines or higher temperatures.
 
Commonly used solvents are polar aprotic solvents such as [[Tetrahydrofurantetrahydrofuran|THF]], [[Dimethyldimethyl sulfoxide|DMSO]], [[Acetonitrileacetonitrile]], [[Dimethylformamidedimethylformamide|DMF]] as well as in non-polar aprotic solvents such as [[toluene]]. Neat solvents or a mixture of solvents may be used.
 
[[DIPEA]] (N,N-Diisopropylethylamine) and Et<sub>3</sub>N ([[triethylamine]]) are commonly used bases.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Morten Meldal |author2=Christian Wenzel Tornøe |lastauthorampname-list-style=yesamp | title = Cu-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition | year = 2008| journal = [[Chemical Reviews]] | volume = 108 | issue = 8 | pages = 2952–3015 | doi = 10.1021/cr0783479 | pmid = 18698735}}</ref>
 
=== Mechanism ===
A mechanism for the reaction has been suggested based on [[density functional theory]] calculations.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=F Himo |author2=T Lovell |author3=R Hilgraf |author4=VV Rostovtsev |author5=L Noodleman |author6=KB Sharpless |author7=VV Fokin | title = Copper(I)-Catalyzed Synthesis of Azoles, DFT Study Predicts Unprecedented Reactivity and Intermediates | year = 2005 | journal = [[Journal of the American Chemical Society]] | pages = 210–216 | doi = 10.1021/ja0471525 |pmid=15631470 | volume = 127|issue=1 |bibcode=2005JAChS.127..210H |s2cid=20486589 }}</ref> Copper is a 1st row [[transition metal]]. It has the electronic configuration [Ar] 3d<sup>10</sup> 4s<sup>1</sup>. The copper (I) species generated in situ forms a [[pi complex]] with the triple bond of a terminal alkyne. In the presence of a base, the terminal hydrogen, being the most acidic, is deprotonated first to give a Cu [[acetylide]] intermediate. Studies have shown that the reaction is [[second order reaction|second order]] with respect to Cu. It has been suggested that the [[transition state]] involves two copper atoms.<ref>{{Cite journal|lastlast1=Rodionov|firstfirst1=Valentin O.|last2=Fokin|first2=Valery V.|last3=Finn|first3=M.

The metal center coordinates with the electrons on the nitrogen atom. The azide and the acetylide are not coordinated to the same Cu atom in this case. The ligands employed are labile and are weakly coordinating. The azide displaces one ligand to generate a copper-azide-acetylide complex. At this point [[cyclisationcyclization]] takes place. This is followed by [[protonation]]; the source of proton being the hydrogen which was pulled off from the terminal acetylene by the base. The product is formed by dissociation and the catalyst ligand complex is regenerated for further reaction cycles.
 
The reaction is assisted by the copper, which, when coordinated with the acetylide lowers the pKa of the alkyne C-H by up to 9.8 units. Thus under certain conditions, the reaction may be carried out even in the absence of a base.
 
In the uncatalysed reaction the alkyne remains a poor electrophile. Thus high energy barriers lead to slow reaction rates.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=V. D. Bock |author2=H. Hiemstra |author3=J.

===Ligand assistance===
The [[ligand]]s employed are usually labile i.e. they can be displaced easily. Though the ligand plays no direct role in the reaction the presence of a ligand has its advantages.
The ligand protects the Cu ion from interactions leading to degradation and formation of side products and also prevents the oxidation of the Cu(I) species to the Cu(II). Furthermore, the ligand functions as a proton acceptor thus eliminating the need of a base.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Valentin O. Rodionov |author2=Stanislav I.

== Ruthenium catalysis==
The [[ruthenium]]-catalysed 1,3-dipolar azide-alkyne cycloaddition ('''RuAAC''') gives the 1,5-triazole.
Unlike CuAAC in which only terminal alkynes reacted, in RuAAC both terminal and internal alkynes can participate in the reaction. This suggests that ruthenium [[acetylide]]sacetylides are not involved in the [[catalytic cycle]].
 
The proposed mechanism suggests that in the first step, the [[spectator ligand]]s undergo displacement reaction to produce an [[activated complex]] which is converted, viathrough [[oxidative coupling]] of an alkyne and an azide to the ruthenium containing metallocylemetallacycle (Ruthenacycle). The new [[carbon-nitrogen bond|C-N bond]] is formed between the more electronegative and less sterically demanding carbon of the alkyne and the terminal nitrogen of the azide. The metallacycle intermediate then undergoes reductive elimination releasing the aromatic triazole product and regenerating the catalyst or the activated complex for further reaction cycles.
 
Cp<sup>*</sup>RuCl(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, Cp<sup>*</sup>Ru(COD) and Cp<sup>*</sup>[RuCl<sub>4</sub>] are commonly used ruthenium catalysts. Catalysts containing cyclopentadienyl (Cp) group are also used. However, better results are observed with the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl(Cp<sup>*</sup>) version. This may be due to the sterically demanding Cp<sup>*</sup> group which facilitates the displacement of the spectator ligands.<ref>{{cite journal | authors author= Li Zhang, |author2=Xinguo Chen, |author3=Peng Xue, |author4=Herman H.

Recently, the discovery of a general Ag(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction (Ag-AAC) leading to 1,4-triazoles is reported. Mechanistic features are similar to the generally accepted mechanism of the copper(I)-catalyzed process. Silver(I)-salts alone are not sufficient to promote the cycloaddition.
