Abstract
|
A cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) Schiff base complex
[MoO2L] has been synthesized and structurally characterized.
Homogeneous oxidation of olefins using the
complex as a catalyst with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant in
ethanol solution showed high catalytic activity for this
complex. Under reflux conditions, the oxidation of
cyclooctene, styrene, a-methyl styrene, 4-methyl styrene
and 1-methyl cyclohexene with hydrogen peroxide gave
the corresponding epoxides as the sole products.
