epoxidation of propene equation
Hello student,
The hydrogen peroxide has been carried out. The main purpose was to understand the key factors in the reaction and the relationship between epoxidation of propene and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, which is the main side reaction.
Moreover, The decomposition was highly influenced by the materials used, being higher in metals than in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and glass, and it was complete when the epoxidation catalyst, TS-1, was introduced in the system.
However, when propene was added, the peroxide was preferentially used for the epoxidation, even with amounts of catalyst as small as 10 mg.
Hope it helps you...
