Epoxidation and oxidative dihydroxylation of C-10-C-13 unsaturated bridged hydrocarbons involving hydrogen peroxide and modified forms of heteromolybdic compounds
Induced oxidation of C-10-C-13 tricyclic bridged olefins synthesized from C-5-C-8 cyclodiene hydrocarbons using hydrogen peroxide has been studied. It has been shown that phosphomolybdic heteropoly compounds supported on a finely divided carbon material and additionally modified with HBr and CoCO3 or Gd2O3 exhibit high activity in this reaction. Depending on the conditions of the experiments, the main reaction products are the corresponding oxiranes and diols that retain the structure of the reactant hydrocarbons.
