Mo132-Ionic Liquid As An Effective Hybrid Catalyst For Selective Epoxidation of Different Alkenes with H2O2
Abstract
A hybrid catalyst based on Mo132 as a Keplerate type polyoxometalate and MimAm as an ionic liquid was used as an effective catalyst for selective epoxidation of different alkenes with H2O2 as a green and safe oxidant. The effects of various parameters such as catalyst, oxidant amounts, reaction time, and temperature were also studied in selective epoxidation of cyclooctene. Moreover, under the optimal reaction conditions, the epoxidation of different alkenes was performed with 54–100% yields. Interestingly, this catalyst complies with the benefits of easy preparation, recovery, recycle, high catalytic activity, simplified workup, and flexible composition. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.
