Background
Epoxidation of alkenes is an important chemical transformation whereby and oxygen atom is added to the carbon-carbon double bond to form an epoxide. The epoxides are often utilized as intermedialte compounds which can then be transformed to final products.
Our innovation
The invention discloses a process for the catalytic epoxidation of alkene comprising contacting a transition metal substitutes polyoxomtalate and molecular oxygen with alkene.
