Abstract

Abstract A greener and efficient alkene epoxidation process using heterogeneous molybdenum (Mo) based catalysts and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant has been developed. A polybenzimidazole supported Mo (VI) complex, ie PBI. Mo and polystyrene 2-(aminomethyl) pyridine supported Mo (VI) complex, ie Ps. AMP. Mo catalysts have been successfully prepared and characterised. The catalytic activities of the polymer ...
