Abstract: The products obtained from limonene epoxidation can be used as intermediates or precursors in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. Commercial magnesium oxide was evaluated as a heterogeneous catalyst in the epoxidation of R-(+)-limonene using H 2 O 2 in a Payne reaction system, using acetonitrile as an oxidant activator and water and acetone as solvents. The effect of temperature and the concentration of catalyst, H 2 O 2, and limonene were evaluated; the highest yields for limonene epoxide (80%) and diepoxid… Show more
