In this work, we have adopted an easy route to synthesizing bis-1,2,3-triazole-based benzophenone compounds via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction (Click Chemistry). All the target compounds achieved better yields though the microwave-assisted method than the conventional method. Target compounds structure were confirmed based on the IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HR Mass analysis.
