The synthesis of novel tricyclic 1,2,3-triazoles starting from cyclic epoxides via the sequential azidolysis, propargylation and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is described. Derivatization by N-arylation reaction and the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds is also reported. Some of these compounds exhibit significant affinity for the sigma-1 receptor.
