ChemInform Abstract: Efficient Heterogeneous Epoxidation of Alkenes by a Supported Tungsten Oxide Catalyst.
Abstract
A heterogenous catalyst comprising of tungsten and zinc oxides (3.5 wt% W and 0.8 wt% Zn) on SnO2 support is found to efficiently promote the epoxidation of alkenes and the oxidation of amines, silanes, and sulfide by hydrogen peroxide.
