Epoxidation of Butadiene with Hydrogen Peroxide Catalyzed by the Salts of Phosphotungstate Anions: Relation Between Catalytic Activity and Composition of Intermediate Peroxo Complexes

Catalysis Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Epoxidation of 1,3-butadiene has been studied in acetonitrile solutions of aqueous H2O2 and tetrabutylammonium or 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium salts of phosphotungstate anions: [(n-C4H9)4N]3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4}, [(n-C4H9)4N]5Na0.6H1.4[PW11O39] or [(C2H5)(CH3)C3H3N2]5NaH[PW11O39]. The selectivity of the 1,3-butadiene to 3,4-epoxy-1-butene (EpB) conversion attains 97% at nearly 100% efficiency of the H2O2 consumption. The rate of the EpB formation has been correlated with the solution compositions as found by 31P NMR under the reaction conditions.

Graphical Abstract

Selective epoxidation of 1,3-butadiene catalyzed by (TBA)3{PO4[WO(O2)2]4}, (TBA)5Na0,6H1,4PW11O39, (EMIm)5NaHPW11O39 has been studied under homogeneous conditions. The rate of the reaction correlates with the composition of active peroxo anions, PW n O x m (n = 1–4), detected by 31P NMR
