Abstract
Boron incorporated bifunctional microporous titanium silicalites of MF I topology, which contained both oxidizing and acidic sites, can effec tively catalyse the selective epoxidation of alpha-olefins, followed b y ring opening of the epoxide through hydrolysis reactions. Data are p resented that correlate the oxidative and acidic functions of these ca talysts. The rate of hydrolysis is seen to depend on the phases genera ted by incorporation of the boron atoms.
