Abstract: Epoxycyclohexane was prepared in yield of 86.2% by electrochemical epoxidation of cyclohexene at Ti/SnO2+ Sb2O3/PbO2 anode, at current density 0.4 A/dm2 in H2O NaBr MeCN medium(VH2O:VMeCN =4:1, CNaBr =0.04 mol/dm3). Ti/SnO2+ Sb2O3/PbO2 anode showed a more excellent catalytic activity than Ti/RuO2 anode.

Key words: electrochemical epoxidation, epoxycyclohexane, cyclohexene, titanium anode
