Novel amine-modified TiO₂–SiO₂ aerogel for the demanding epoxidation of substituted cyclohexenols

Abstract

Amine additives provided high selectivity (up to 98%) in the epoxidation of sensitive alkyl-substituted cyclohexenols with a TiO₂–SiO₂ aerogel and Bu^tOOH; heterogenization of the catalyst system resulted in a new bifunctional catalyst.
