Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4 mmol of 2-octene (a mixture of cis-isomer and trans-isomer), 20 mmol of tetralin, 0.4 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.2 mmol of molybdenum hexacarbonyl, 0.004 mmol of cobalt (II) acetate, 200 mg of Molecular Sieve 4A, and 2 ml of benzonitrile was stirred at 50° C. under an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 20 hours. Gas chromatographic analysis of products in a reaction mixture revealed that 2-octene was converted, at a rate of 82%, into 2,3-epoxyoctane in yield of 72%, and that tetralin was converted, at a rate of 42%, into α-tetralol (yield: 21%) and α-tetralone (yield: 43%).
