A. Corma et al., LARGE-PORE BIFUNCTIONAL TITANIUM-ALUMINOSILICATES - THE INORGANIC NONENZYMATIC VERSION OF THE EPOXIDASE CONVERSION OF LINALOOL TO CYCLIC ETHERS, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (16), 1995, pp. 1635-1636
Bifunctional aluminosilicate catalysts containing framework Ti are pre
pared, with two different topologies and pore sizes; these samples con
tain both acid and oxidizing catalytic sites and are highly selective
for carrying out multistep reactions with selectivities close to those
obtained with epoxidases, this is shown to occur for the oxidation of
linalool to cyclic hydroxy ethers.
