Abstract

Synthesis of allyl-glycidyl ether by the epoxidation of diallyl ether with t-butyl hydroperoxide over the Ti-MWW catalyst

Highlights

Allyl-glycidyl ether is a valuable compound used as a modifier for elastomers, adhesives and fibers, and as a reactive diluent for epoxy resins.[1]
Instrumental analysis of the zeolite material Ti-MWW has been performed by means of UV-vis spectrometry, infrared spectrometry (IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Xray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray microanalysis
The results of the epoxidation of diallyl ether (DAE) over the titanium silicate catalyst Ti-MWW and in the presence of methanol have been presented. t-Butyl hydroperoxide have been applied for the first time as an oxidant for this process

Summary

Introduction

Allyl-glycidyl ether (allyl-2,3-epoxypropyl ether/AGE) is a valuable compound used as a modifier for elastomers, adhesives and fibers, and as a reactive diluent for epoxy resins.[1] It is used in a production of poly(vinylcaprolactam), which is a polymer, that acts as a nonionic film-forming agent and fixative for hair care products like aerosol sprays, pump sprays and lotions (known under the trade mark Luviskol® Plus, supplied by BASF company).[2] it is a component of novel coatings,[3] hydrogels,[4] detergents,[5] and many others.[6]. Allyl-glycidyl ether is primarily obtained in a process of allyl alcohol and epichlorohydrin condensation. The main disadvantage of this process is obtaining chlorine as one of the byproducts. Referring to the latest reports, total chlorine amount can be reduced even up to 1 wt% in the
