Epoxidation of 2-buten-1-ol with hydrogen peroxide over a TS-1 catalyst
2-Buten-1-ol on (1:1 by mole) epoxidation with aq. 30% H2O2 (1 atm, 60 degrees C, 60 min) run over 0.1% of a titanium-silicalite (TS-1) catalyst in 80% MeOH as solvent, gave 2,3-epoxy-1-butanol in 93% yield, and 100% selectivity. Possible appins. of the product are given.
