Abstract
Efficient epoxidation of natural terpenic olefins is performed using n ickel acetylacetonate, oxygen and a branched aldehyde at ambient tempe rature. Total conversions are achieved with selectivities up to 90% in to epoxide. Under the same conditions other catalytic systems using tr ansition metal acetylacetonates (M(n)(acac)(n)) have been used, some o f which also gave satisfactory results.
