【Abstract】 The formation of propylene oxide from propylene by direct epoxidation with O 2 has been studied over rare earth chloride catalysts with different carboxylic acids and solvents, and a preliminary discussion on the mechanism of this reaction has been given. Significant PO formation was observed only over EuCl 3 catalyst and in the presence of zinc powder and carboxylic acids. As to the carboxylic acids, propanoic acid is the best for epoxidation of propylene. The yields of the epoxide were higher than those without solvents, but basic substance was not suitable as solvent. The higher the pressure used, the more TON obtained. However high reaction temperature was not suitable for epoxidation. In the catalytic system of EuCl 3, zinc powder and carboxylic acids, EuCl 3 plays a role in transferring electron; zinc powder is the e - donor and carboxylic acids is the H + donor. The mechanism given is consistent with the results of the experiments.更多还原
