Abstract

The regularities of epoxide formation during the activation of the Mo2B catalyst in the reaction of β- ethylalyl--ethyl acrylate interaction with tert-butyl hydroperoxide have been studied. The change in the composition of the Mo2B catalyst surface and its amount in the reaction mixture was studied. As well as reaction products (tert-butyl alcohol and 2,3-epoxy-2-ethylpropylethyl acrylate). It is shown that the selectivity of epoxy formation is not constant. It was found that the hydroperoxide on the non-activated form of the catalyst is consumed unproductively, and on the activated completely spent on epoxidation.
