説明

<jats:p> Epoxides are an important class of industrial chemicals that have been used as chemical intermediates. Catalytic epoxidation of olefins affords an interesting production technology. We found a widely usable green route to the production of epoxides: A silicotungstate compound, [γ-SiW <jats:sub>10</jats:sub> O <jats:sub>34</jats:sub> (H <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> O) <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ] <jats:sup>4–</jats:sup> , is synthesized by protonation of a divacant, lacunary, Keggin-type polyoxometalate of [γ-SiW <jats:sub>10</jats:sub> O <jats:sub>36</jats:sub> ] <jats:sup>8–</jats:sup> and exhibits high catalytic performance for the epoxidation of various olefins, including propylene, with a hydrogen peroxide (H <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> O <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> ) oxidant at 305 kelvin. The effectiveness of this catalyst is evidenced by ≥99% selectivity to epoxide, ≥99% efficiency of H <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> O <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> utilization, high stereospecificity, and easy recovery of the catalyst from the homogeneous reaction mixture. </jats:p>
