  • Direct conversion of olefin to olefin oxide by molecular oxygen
    Patent number: 8829211
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a direct conversion of olefin to olefin oxide, which are important and versatile intermediates used in the production of a large variety of valuable consumer products such as polyurethane foams, polymers, alkylene glycol, cosmetics, food emulsifiers and as fumigants and insecticides. More specifically, the present invention provides a process for producing an olefin oxide which comprises reacting an olefin with oxygen in the presence of a halogen compound additive and a catalyst comprising copper, ruthenium or both thereof.
