Abstract

Abstract Catalytic epoxidation process of low molecular weight olefins, by means of a bimetallic boron-molybdenum reaction catalyst of the kind: in which Y is a bivalent residue of an aromatic or aliphatic hydrocarbon; X is a generic ligand, and in which the oxygen bridge between B and Mo is of the chemical covalent type. Advantageously, the said catalyst may be supported on polymeric matrices, for its use in heterogeneous phase.
