New catalysts for the aerobic selective oxidation of hydrocarbons: Mn(III)- and Co(III)-containing molecular sieves for the epoxidation of alkenes

Abstract
Co(III) or Mn(III) ions that replace some 4 atom% of Al(III) sites in microporous aluminophosphate number 36 (AlPO-36) function as catalytically active centres for the production from benzaldehyde of acylperoxy radicals: these, in turn, in dry air (30 bar) convert cyclohexene, pinene, limonene and styrene to their corresponding epoxides and diols.
