Abstract

α-Substituted peroxides have been found in natural products and are widely used as anti-malarial agents. Zn(OTf)2 -catalyzed peroxidation of 1,3,5-triazines has been developed, accessing diversely substituted α-amino tertiary alkylperoxides with high efficiency. Mechanistic investigations and useful synthetic application of the products have also been presented.

Keywords: 1,3,5-triazines; Lewis acid; peroxidation; α-amino tertiary alkylperoxides.
