Epoxidation of methallyl alcohol with hydrogen peroxide over TS-1 catalyst

The influence of the technological parameters on the course of the epoxidation of methallyl alcohol with 30 wt.% hydrogen peroxide over titanium silicalite catalyst TS-1 has been investigated. The effect of different parameters such as temperature, molar ratio of methallyl alcohol to hydrogen peroxide, methanol concentration, catalyst content (in reaction mixture) and the reaction time was determined. The course of the process was described by the following functions: the selectivity of transformation to 2-methylglycidol in relation to consumed methallyl alcohol, conversion of methallyl alcohol and the selectivity of transformation to organic compounds in relation to consumed hydrogen peroxide.
