Turning TS-1 zeolite into a highly active catalyst for olefin epoxidation with organic hydroperoxides.
A new synthesis route, based on the silanization of zeolitic seeds, has been applied to prepare nanocrystalline TS-1 zeolite with hierarchical porosity, leading to materials exhibiting high catalytic activity in 1-octene epoxidation with organic hydroperoxides as oxidizing agents.
