Selective liquid-phase oxidation of allyl alcohol to glycidol over MWW type titanosilicalite

The results of the epoxidation of allyl alcohol with 30% hydrogen peroxide over the Ti-MWW catalyst have been presented. The studies were carried out under atmospheric pressure and in the presence of methanol as a solvent. The influence of the following technological parameters on the course of epoxidation was examined: temperature (20–60 °C), the molar ratio of AA/H2O2 (1:1–5:1), methanol concentration (5–90 wt%), catalyst content (0–5.0 wt%), reaction time (5–300 min) and intensity of stirring (0–500 rpm).
