Liquid phase epoxidation of allylic compounds with hydrogen peroxide over titanium silicalite catalysts
The experimental results of the process of epoxidation of allylic compounds (allyl alcohol, methallyl alcohol and methallyl chloride) to corresponding epoxides with hydrogen peroxide over titanium silicalite: TS-1, TS-2, Ti-beta and Ti-MCM-41 have been presented. The epoxidation was carried out with a 30% hydrogen peroxide in methanol as solvent in an autoclave. ne applied epoxidation system allowed to obtain glycidol, P-methylglycidol and beta-methylepichlorohydrin with a good selectivity and conversion of allylic compounds in most cases. The major applications of glycidol, P-methylglycidol and beta-methylepichlorohydrin have been also presented. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
