Selective liquid-phase oxidation of allyl alcohol to glycidol over MWW type titanosilicalite

The results of the epoxidation of allyl alcohol with 30% hydrogen peroxide over the Ti-MWW catalyst have been presented. The studies were carried out under atmospheric pressure and in the presence of methanol as a solvent. The influence of the following technological parameters on the course of epoxidation was examined: temperature (20-60 A degrees C), the molar ratio of AA/H2O2 (1:1-5:1), methanol concentration (5-90 wt%), catalyst content (0-5.0 wt%), reaction time (5-300 min) and intensity of stirring (0-500 rpm).
