Abstract
The invention relates to a new method for producing epoxides by oxidizing olefins in a homogeneous gas phase reaction, wherein ozone and NO and/or NO are reacted with the desired olefin under mild reaction conditions and without a catalyst. The inventive method can be carried out as a continuous, one-step method in a reactor according to FIG. 1, and requires very little technical input. Monoolefins having 2 to 16 carbon atoms and diolefins having 4 to 16 carbon atoms can be epoxidized.
