Polyoxometalate-catalysed epoxidation of 1-octene with hydrogen peroxide in microemulsions coupled with ultrafiltration.
Epoxidation of 1-octene with hydrogen peroxide catalysed by amphiphilic salts of peroxo tungstophosphate [PO4[WO(O2)2]4]3- in water-in-oil microemulsions is an efficient and environmentally benign reaction which, coupled with ultrafiltration, shows the potential for continuous production of epoxides.
