2-Allyl-1,2,3-triazoles were prepared by the palladium-catalyzed three component coupling (TCC) reaction of alkynes, allyl methyl carbonate and trimethylsilyl azide. A π-allylpalladium azide complex, which undergoes the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with alkynes, is proposed as a key intermediate in the TCC reaction.
