Abstract

The activity of different Mo-based catalysts in propylene epoxidation by t-BuO2H was investigated. MoO2(C13H10O2N)2 and MoO2 (oxine)2 gave quantitative yields in propylene oxide; other compounds were inactive and MoO2 (acac)2 was less active and selective.

The different catalytic behaviour of these catalysts is attributed to the different strength of Mo-ligand bonds.

Abstract

Ъыла исследована активность различных катализаторов на основе молиблена в эпоксидировании пропилена с помощью t-BuO2H. MoO2 (C13H10O2N)2 и MoO2 (оксин)2 дают количественный выход окиси пропилена; другие соединения оказались неактивными, а MoO2 (acac)2 был менее активным и селективным.

Различное каталитическое поведение этих катализаторов связано с различной силой связи Mo-лиганд.
