§ In the presence of 0.1 mol% LA after 3 min. yield of styrene
oxide reached 29%, whereas, without LA in acetone only 32%
after 40 min.
§§ In the oxidation of 4-F-styrene complete conversion was
observed after 40 min., whereas for styrene 100% conversion
occurred after 60 min.
§§§ In the presence of 2 equiv. of H2O2 moderate conversion
(50-60%) was obtained after 5-7 min.; in the presence of 5 eqiuv.
of H2O2 very high conversions were reached (95% after 3 min.),
however, addition of 10 equiv. of H2O2 gave better
reproducibility with the same epoxide selectivity. In the absence
of substrate considerable catalase-like decomposition of H2O2
still occurs; this is significantly reduced in the presence of
substrate.
