PROCESS FOR THE EPOXIDATION OF CYCLIC ALKENES

The epoxidation of cyclic, at least monounsaturated alkenes is conducted by a process, which comprises conducting the epoxidation of a cyclic, at least monounsaturated alkene in the presence of an oxidant in a reaction medium that contains at least 1% by weight of the saturated cyclic alkane corresponding to the cyclic, at least monounsaturated alkene. In a preferred embodiment the reaction medium contains at least 2.5% by weight of the saturated cyclic alkane corresponding to the cyclic, at least monounsaturated alkene. Un procedimiento para la epoxidacion de alquenos ciclicos, cuando menos monoinsaturados, en presencia de un agente de oxidacion, conteniendo la mezcla de reaccion cuando menos 1% en peso del alcano saturado correspondiente.
