The epoxidation of olefin substrates, in both apolar organic media and under solventless conditions, with aqueous hydrogen peroxide and catalysed by molybdenum complexes has been investigated. The catalysts compounds employed were the oxodiperoxomolybdenum complexes of several pyridine, 2, 2′-bipyridine and pyrazole ligands with apolar functions (alkyl chains, alkyl-trimethylsilyl groups and polydimethylsiloxanyl polymer), which ...
