Transition metal-free N-fluoroalkylation of amines using cyanurate activated fluoroalcohols.

A novel and highly efficient method for N-fluoroalkylation of amines using 2,4,6-tris(fluoroalkoxy)-1,3,5-triazines was developed. This simple approach allowed the N-fluoroalkylation of amines under fast, mild and efficient reaction conditions, without using a transition metal as a catalyst.
