Production of hydrocarbon-soluble salts of molybdenum for epoxidation of olefins

摘要

Production of novel hydrocarbon-soluble salts, especially adapted for use as catalysts in the epoxidation of olefinic compounds with an organic hydroperoxide, by reaction of an ammonium molybdate with a carboxylic acid in the presence of an organic amine at specified elevated temperatures while removing water.
