Selective epoxidation of styrene to styrene oxide by TBHP using simple transition metal oxides (NiO, CoO or MoO 3) as highly active environmentally-friendly catalyst

Simple transition metal oxides, such as NiO, CoO or MoO 3, etc. show high catalytic activity for the selective epoxidation of styrene to styrene oxide by TBHP. The order of choice for different transition metal oxides for epoxidation is NiO > CoO > MoO 3 > Cr 2O 3 > Fe 2O 3 > ZnO ⩾ U...

Summary:Simple transition metal oxides, such as NiO, CoO or MoO 3, etc. show high catalytic activity for the selective epoxidation of styrene to styrene oxide by TBHP. The order of choice for different transition metal oxides for epoxidation is NiO > CoO > MoO 3 > Cr 2O 3 > Fe 2O 3 > ZnO ⩾ U 3O 8 >> TiO 2 >> MnO 2.
