Abstract: The uncatalyzed epoxidation of cyclooctene with molecular oxygen under nor solvent under nor inducement has been studied. The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time and reaction pressure on the reaction were investigated. The 44.46% of cyclooctene conversion and 64.39% of cyclooctane epoxide selectivity were obtained when the reaction was carried out at 140℃,0.60 MPa for 2.0h.

Key words: cyclooctene, molecular oxygen, epoxidation, radical, cyclooctane epoxide
