Abstract

An efficient epoxidation process for various terpenes and styrenes using a hydrogen peroxide-tungsten catalytic system with organic solvent- and halide-free conditions was developed. In the presence of the catalytic system, Na2WO4, PhP(O)(OH)2, and [Me(n-C8H17)3N]HSO4, and under weak acidic conditions, hydrogen peroxide successfully epoxidized α-pinene to α-pinene oxide in 95% selectivity at 91% conversion, while the previously published conditions utilizing NH2CH2P(O)(OH)2 as a promoter provided no epoxide.

Key words

oxidation - catalysis - epoxides - terpenoids - styrenes
