MARKED EFFECT OF A CATALYTIC AMOUNT OF AN AMINE ON SELECTIVE EPOXIDATION OF ALIPHATIC AND AROMATIC OLEFINS WITH t-BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE AND A MOLYBDENUM OXIDE CHELATE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(88)85226-2

In the presence of a catalytic amount of an appropriate amine, epoxides were selectively obtained in good yields from reaction of aliphatic and aromatic olefins with t-butyl hydroperoxide and MoO2(acac)2 in carbon tetrachloride.
