Kinetics of 2-methylbutene-2 epoxidation with 2-methylbutane hydroperoxide
The kinetics of 2-methylbutene-2 epoxidation with 2-methylbutane hydroperoxide was studied in the presence of a molybdenum catalyst. The mathematical description of the hydroperoxide consumption and 2-methyl-butene-2 oxide formation was derived, and the most probable scheme of the process was suggested. The main kinetic constants were calculated.
