Abstract
Titanium silicalite molecular sieves, TS-1 and TS-2 having MFI and MEL structures, respectively, catalyze the oxidation of secondary amines to the corresponding hydroxylamines using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. Higher concentrations of H2O2 lead to further oxidation of hydroxylamine to nitrone. Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy shows the formation of a titanium peroxo complex upon addition of hydrogen peroxide to the TS-1 catalyst. The titanium peroxo complex oxidizes the substrate and reforms to a titanyl group.
