PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for epoxidating an olefin compound highly productively.SOLUTION: A method for producing an epoxy compound by reacting a compound having a carbon-carbon double bond with hydrogen peroxide includes the following steps repeatedly or continuously. Step (1): reacting a compound having a carbon-carbon double bond and hydrogen peroxide in the coexistence of (a) the compound having a carbon-carbon double bond, (b) the hydrogen peroxide solution, (c) a solid carrier powder, and (d) a solid catalyst powder, or further (e) an organic solvent. Step (2): separating an epoxy compound from the reaction mixture of the step (1). Step (3): adding (d) the solid catalyst powder, and adding (a) the compound having a carbon-carbon double bond and (b) the hydrogen peroxide solution, or further (e) the organic solvent to a powder mixture composed of the solid carrier and the solid catalyst after the reaction product has been separated in the step (2). |
