Abstract
The oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen, in the presence of hydrophobic niobium oxide/silica as catalysts, has been investigated. The catalysts have been prepared by impregnation of niobium penta-ethoxide on the silica surface followed by attachment of alkylsilyl groups from octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODS) on the surface with partial coverage. Cyclohexene was oxidized to 2- cyclohexen-1-ol, 2-cyclohexen-1-one and 7-oxabicyclo[4.1.0]hexane by molecular oxygen at atmospheric pressure in the presence modified Nb2O5/silica particles without any solvent at 70°C. These catalysts are efficient for the oxidation of cyclohexene with molecular oxygen which probably occurs with Mars-van Krevelen type mechanism. Based on these results, a catalyst design for liquidgas reaction system is proposed.
