Recent advances in in-situ epoxidation reactions with resin catalysts

Summary Two new resin catalyst systems forin-situ epoxidation have been described. One technique features the continuous circulation of the reaction mixture through a fixed resin catalyst bed. The other, a simple, practical and economical process, employs expendable amounts of resin catalyst. Yields of 75–85% epoxy ester with very little residual unsaturation were readily obtained. Presented at the 29th fall meeting of the American Oil Chemists’ Society, October 10–12, 1955, Philadelphia, Pa.
