Titanium-substituted zeolite beta(Ti-Al-β)-catalysed epoxidation of oct-1-ene with tert-butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP)

Abstract
Titanium substituted zeolite beta(Ti-Al-β) catalyses the epoxidation of oct-1-ene with TBHP; high selectivities to epoxide (92–100%) are observed when the Brønsted acid sites are neutralized by ion exchange with alkali or alkaline earth metal ions.
