title: Epoxidation of soybean oil catalyzed by [pi-C5H5NC16H33]3[PW4O16] with hydrogen peroxide and ethyl acetate as solvent.
abstract: A new environmentally benign and highly efficient catalytic system [pi-C5H5NC16H33]3[PO4(WO3)4]/H2O2/CH3COOC2H5 for the epoxidation of soybean oil displayed excellent activity and high recovery. The change of the catalyst during the reaction was investigated by elemental analysis, FT-IR and 31P NMR.
