What is it about?
Molybdenum(VI) pyridoxal thiosemicarbazonato complexes have proved to be efficient catalysts in the olefinic epoxidation of cyclooctene by aqueous TBHP in the absence of an organic solvent. High activity and selectivity have been obtained with a catalyst loading of just 0.05% molybdenum in the case of one mononuclear (pre)catalyst (TOF 3360 h−1) under solvent-free conditions. The influence of methanol on the activity and selectivity has been studied.
