Process for the epoxidation of olefins using a group V metal co-catalyst I and a phenolic hydrocarbon co-catalyst II

摘要

A process for epoxidizing olefins with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising a Group V element containing Co-catalyst I, such as diphenylarsinic acid, and a phenol containing compound having a pKa of from about 5 to about 13 as Co-catalyst II such as p-chlorophenol is disclosed.
