Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the reaction of at least one organic compound with one oxygen-delivering substance, for example a hydroperoxide, in the presence of at least one catalyst containing a metal-organic framework material comprising pores and a metal ion and an at least bidentate organic compound, said bidentate organic compound being coordinately bound to the metal ion. Further, the present invention is directed to the products being obtainable by the process according to the invention.
Claims18
A process for the epoxidation of organic compounds, comprising reacting at least one organic compound with at least one epoxidizing agent in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises a porous metal-organic framework material comprising at least one metal ion and at least one at least bidentate organic compound which is coordinately bound to said metal ion.
