The liquid-phase oxidation of dicyclopentadiene 1 by molecular oxygen was studied in the presence of MoO2(acac)2 as a typical epoxidation catalyst.The yield of the mono-epoxides 2 and 3 is increased to 56.4 percent (uncatalyzed reaction: 43.6 percent).The ratio of the two mono-epoxides is decreased to 2/3 = 2.6 in relation to the uncatalyzed reaction 2/3 = 7.1).The influence of temperature, conversion and solvents is described.The bisepoxide 4 is formed at lower conversions than in the uncatalyzed reaction.But also at higher conversion of 1 not more than 10 percent of the bisepoxide 4 is formed.
