Abstract:The ring-opening of
epoxidized methyl oleate by aqueous H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> has been studied
using tungsten and molybdenum catalysts to form the corresponding fatty b-hydroxy hydroperoxides. It was found that tungstic acid and
phosphostungstic acid gave the highest selectivities (92-93%) towards the
formation of the desired products, thus limiting the formation of the
corresponding fatty 1,2-diols. The optimized conditions were applied to a range
of fatty epoxides to give the cor… Show more
