The influence of the solvent on the epoxidation of cis,trans,trans-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene to trans-1,2-epoxy-cis,trans-5,9-cyclododecadiene by catalytic system tert-butyl hydroperoxide/Mo(CO)6.
The epoxidation of cis,trans,trans-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene to trans-1,2-epoxy- cis,trans-5,9-cyclododecadiene with the use of commercial solution of tert-butyl hydroperoxide in various organic solvents: tert-butyl peroxide, isooctane, decane, and nonane was investigated. The process was investigated in different experimental conditions. The best results were achieved with the application of tert-butyl hydroperoxide in isooctane. A significant influence of the nature of the solvent on the results of trans-1,2-epoxy-cis,trans-5,9-cyclododecadiene synthesis was found.
