Abstract
A process for the production of alkylene oxides from olefins in the presence of transition metal borate catalysts, oxygen and a non-polar, aromatic organic solvent via one-step, direct oxidation is described. The reaction is conducted at a temperature in the range of 80.degree. to 280.degree. C. and a pressure of 1 atmosphere or greater. Alkylene oxides have a variety of uses such as in polyols for urethane foams, the production of alkylene glycols, surfactants and detergents, alkanolamines, fumigants, synthetic lubricants and elastomers.
