Epoxidation of tetracyclodecene hydrocarbons with the H2O2·CO(NH2)2 adduct in the presence of heteropoly compounds containing rare-earth metal cations

Epoxidation of tetracyclododecene bridged hydrocarbons prepared via the [4+2]-condensation of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene and its alkyl derivatives with cyclopentadiene in the presence of Н-form of synthetic mordenite has been studied. Phosphorus-molybdenum and phosphorus-tungsten heteropoly compounds doped with Co 3+ , Gd 3+ , Nd 3+ , Ce(4–x)+ ( x = 0, 1) cations as well these compounds deposited on highly disperse carbon material have exhibited high activity in epoxidation of the synthesized hydrocarbons under the action of the H 2 O 2 ·CO(NH 2 ) 2 adduct. Structures of the new bridged polycyclic epoxides have been elucidated by IR as well as 1 Н and 13 С NMR spectroscopy.
