Environmentally Friendly Catalysis Using Supported Reagents: Catalytic Epoxidation with Hydrogen Peroxide Mediated by Iron(II) Ions Immobilised on γ-alumina †
A simple heterogeneous catalyst based on supporting iron(II) ions on γ-alumina was developed and successfully applied to the selective epoxidation of olefins with 35% aqueous H2O2 as an oxygen donor in CH3CN.
