Highly effective epoxidation of alkenes with Ti-containing soluble polymers

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Nov 7:(21):2228-9. doi: 10.1039/b105362k.

Abstract

Ti-containing polysiloxane epoxidation catalysts have been prepared by controlled hydrolysis of titanium- and alkylsilane precursors. These polysilkoxanes exhibit very high yields to epoxides in the epoxidation reaction of primary alkenes with organic hydroproxides.
