Epoxidation of n-Hexene and Cyclohexene over Titanium-Containing Catalysts
TS-1, Ti-beta and Ti-MCM-41 molecular sieves have been prepared by direct hydrothermal synthesis method and applied to the epoxidation of n-hexene and cyclohexene with H2O2 under mild conditions. Ti-beta with extremely low Al content was synthesized by using a seed method to suppress the formation of diol produced by Bronsted acid sites present in Ti-beta. It was also found that a large amount of by-products (1-ol and 1-one) formed over hydrophilic Ti-MCM-41. We further modified Ti-MCM-41 by silylation with bis(trimethylsilyl) trifluouroacetamide (BSTFA). Among these catalysts, the Ti-beta with low content of Al enhanced the yield of epoxide and suppressed the formation of diol markedly. The sily lated Ti-MCM-41 reduced the formation of by-products and promoted the yields of epoxide significantly. Based on experimental results, a reaction mechanism with two parallel and competitive reactions was proposed.
