INFLUENCE OF HYDROPEROXIDE EPOXIDATION REACTION CONDITIONS OF OCTEN-1 ON THE PROCESS OF Mo2B ACTIVATION AND ON THE SELECTIVITY OF EPOXIDE FORMATION
A study of the process of activation of molybdenumboride catalyst in the reaction of epoxidation of octene-1 with tert-butyl hydroperoxide and the effect on this process of the initial concentration of octene-1, tert-butyl hydroperoxide and the amount of catalyst in the reaction mixture. As well as reaction products (tert-butyl alcohol and epoxy). It is shown that over time a new amorphous phase is formed on the surface of Mo2B, which actually catalyzes the epoxidation reaction of octene-1 with tert-butyl hydroperoxide.
