ChemInform Abstract: KINETICS AND MECHANISM OF 2,3‐DIMETHYL‐2‐BUTENE EPOXIDATION BY TERT‐BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE

The influence of the solvent on the epoxidation of cis,trans,trans-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene to trans-1,2-epoxy-cis,trans-5,9-cyclododecadiene by catalytic system tert-butyl hydroperoxide/Mo(CO)6

“…However, none of the mechanisms of the epoxidation in the presence of Mo(CO) 6 take into consideration the influence of the solvent. Whereas the elaborations [25] allowing the possibility of the formation of triple complex: Mo(CO) 6−(n+1) /olefin n /ROOH, where n = 1, 2 or a double complex: Mo(CO) 6 /ROOH, Mo(CO) 6 /olefine are known [26,27].…”
