Optimization of the epoxidation process of (1Z,5E,9E)-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene to 1,2-epoxy-(5Z,9E)-5,9-cyclododecadiene with tert-buthyl hydroperoxide - the influence of technological parameters on the hydroperoxide conversion

Abstracts

EN

The optimization studies of the epoxidation process of (1Z,5E,9E)-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene (CDT) with tert-buthyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) over the molybdenum catalyst Mo(CO)6 were performed. The reaction was examined in terms of a uniform-rotatable design. Three factors were analyzed: the reaction time, CDT:TBHP molar ratio, and the molar concentration of the catalyst (Mo(CO)6). According to the design 20 experiments were performed at the constant temperature of 70°C.
