Enhanced Catalytic Performance of Sn Single-Atom Doped CuO with Oxygen Vacancies for Efficient Epoxidation of α-Olefins.

ABSTRACT: Epoxidation of long-chain α-olefins (LAOs) is a process of paramount importance, particularly in the preparation of epoxides. Traditional epoxidation methods, such as the chlorohydrin method and peracid method, suffer from issues such as poor selectivity, by-product formation, and environmental pollution. Mukaiyama epoxidation, with its mild reaction conditions and exceptional selectivity, has attracted widespread attention and considerable research. Transition metal oxide catalysts show potential in the reaction; however, the catalytic efficiency still require substantial improvement due to dilemma of substance activation. In this study, a synergistic enhancement method was employed, achieved through the creation of oxygen vacancies and the electron-rich nature of Cu. The substitution of
