β¦ Synopsis
Poly(vinylbenzyl)acetylacetonato complex of cobalt is an effective and stable catalyst for the epoxidation of cycloalkenes with molecular oxygen under 25Β°C with i-butyraldehyde as the sacrificial reductant. The acetylacetone ligand/Co mole ratio, the reaction time, and the strain and electronic nature of cycloalkenes all affect the conversions of alkenes and selectivities to the corresponding epoxides. The catalyst can be recycled at least seven times without loss of its activity.

The epoxidation of styrene to styrene oxide at higher than 96% yield has been achieved by the catalysis by poly-(vinylbenzy1)acetylacetonate complexes of cobalt(I1) or manganese(II) in the presence of isobutyraldehyde under an atmospheric pressure of molecular oxygen at room temperature. The kind of
