Influence of reaction conditions on the selectivity of the process of epoxidation of oct-1-ene by tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of МоВ

Abstract

The influence of the reaction conditions on the selectivity of the interaction of oct-1-ene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of MoB was investigated. It is shown that the selectivity of 1,2-epoxyoctane formation can vary depending on the reaction conditions.With the participation of the activated form of the catalyst, the selectivity increases significantly, but does not reach 100%. The optimal reaction conditions under which the selectivity of 1,2-epoxyoctane formation exceeds 90% have been established.
