Preparation and catalytic activity of a new dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex for olefin epoxidation
A novel dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex of ferrocenyliminoalcoholate was easily prepared by the reaction of the ferrocenyl-containing iminoalcohol and MoO2Cl2 (THF)(2) using THF as solvent. The sample was characterized by FT-IR, (1) H NMR, elemental analysis and UV-Vis. The complex exhibited an efficient, selective catalytic performance for styrene and cyclohexene epoxidation.
