A new triazine-based oxidizing reagent, 2-hydroperoxy-4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazine (Triazox), has been developed. The reagent can be synthesized from inexpensive starting materials and is a bench-stable solid that is isolable in pure form. Epoxidation of alkenes possessing acid-sensitive functionalities using Triazox proceeded in good to excellent yields. The accompanying nonacidic triazinone coproduct can be easily removed by filtration. These features indicate that Triazox is a practically useful oxidizing reagent.
