IMPROVED EPOXIDATION PROCESS USING LOW OLEFIN TO HYDROPEROXIDE RATIOS (D#80,315 -F) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of preparing an epoxide compound by re- acting an olefinically unsaturated compound with an organic hydroperoxide in the presence of a molybdenum catalyst is described. The mole ratio of olefinically unsaturated re- actant to organic hydroperoxide reactant is in the range of 0.9:1 to 3.0:1. Recoveries of soluble molybdenum cat- alyst are routinely 90% or higher. The preferred catalyst is a molybdenum catalyst, such as a molybdenum complex of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol. It was further surprisingly discovered that the method of this invention works much better with t-butyl hydroperoxide as the organic hydroperoxide as com- pared with other hydroperoxides, such as cumene hydroper- oxide.
