A mixture of 4 mmol of cis-2-octene, 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 14 hours. Gas chromatographic analysis of products in a reaction mixture revealed that 2-octene was converted, at a rate of 83%, into 2,3-epoxyoctane (cis/trans=98.5/1.5) in yield of 72%, and that tetralin was converted, at a rate of 35%, into α-tetralol (yield: 34%) and α-tetralone (yield: 46%).
