Green Chemistry and Technology

In the last decade, the progress in the chemistry of organic peroxides was prompted by numerous works of their antimalarial, anthelmintic, antitumor, growth regulating and antitubercular activity. Th e importance of these studies is illustrated by the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Youyou Tu for the discovery and development of artemisinin. Our work develops methods for the synthesis of various types of cyclic and linear peroxides using of H2O2 and carbonyl compounds with high selectivity. An important feature of these methods is high atom effi ciency and wastelessness of the synthesis.
