✦ Synopsis

The epoxidation of chloromethylbutenes by t-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of has been investigated. The inÑuence of important Mo(CO) 6 parameters on hydroperoxide conversion, selectivity of transformation to epoxy compound in relation to hydroperoxide used, yield in relation to oleÐn introduced (response function) has been described by regression equations in the form of a second order polynomial. The optimum values of : temperature, oleÐn to hydroperoxide molar ratio, reaction time, molar ratio of catalyst to Mo(CO) 6 hydroperoxide, ensuring the maximum values of these functions, have been determined.
