The epoxidation of methyl oleate or high oleic FAMEs from different vegetable oils was carried out in a one-pot reaction over supported copper catalysts by using cumene as oxygen carrier. Cumene firstly reacts with O-2 generating cumene hydroperoxide, that by reaction with methyl oleate forms the epoxide. By using 8% Cu catalysts supported on alumina or on a polymer yields up to 87% could be obtained in a single pot at 100 degrees C. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract

The epoxidation of methyl oleate or high oleic FAMEs from different vegetable oils was carried out in a one-pot reaction over supported copper catalysts by using cumene as oxygen carrier. Cumene firstly reacts with O-2 generating cumene hydroperoxide, that by reaction with methyl oleate forms the epoxide. By using 8% Cu catalysts supported on alumina or on a polymer yields up to 87% could be obtained in a single pot at 100 degrees C. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
