Optimisation of greener and more efficient 1,7-octadiene epoxidation catalysed by a polymer-supported Mo(vi) complex via response surface methodology

Abstract

In this study, a greener and more efficient alkene epoxidation process has been developed using a heterogeneous polybenzimidazole supported Mo(vi) catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidising reagent.
