Remarkable activity enhancement by trimethylsilylation in oxidation of alkenes and alkanes with H₂O₂ catalyzed by titanium-containing mesoporous molecular sieves

Abstract

Titanium-containing mesoporous materials, Ti-MCM-41 and Ti-MCM-48, have been successfully modified by trimethylsilylation to exhibit enhanced catalytic activity in the oxidation of alkenes and alkanes with H₂O₂.
