Abstract

In this paper, is described the conversion of the octane group of hydrocarbons into industrially important epoxides using tri-copper catalyst, [Cu3I(L)]+1 (L=7-N-Etppz). The role of hydrogen peroxide as a sacrificial oxygen donor during catalytic conversion to epoxides has been investigated. The performance of the catalyst has been evaluated in terms of turnover numbers (TON) and turnover frequencies (TOF) reported in this article.
