METHOD OF PRODUCING 1,2-EPOXIDE AND APPARATUS FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C07D301/12 B01D17/02 B01F5/06 B01J19/18 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of producing epoxy compounds, which includes adding an oxidant, a water-soluble manganese complex and terminal olefin to obtain a polyphase reaction mixture; reacting the terminal olefin and oxidant in the polyphase reaction mixture comprising at least one organic phase, in the presence of the water-soluble manganese complex; dividing the reaction mixture into at least one organic phase and an aqueous phase and recycling at least a portion of the aqueous phase. The water-soluble manganese complex is a mononuclear particle of general formula (I): [LMnX₃]Y, or a binuclear particle of general formula (II): [[LMn(µ-X₃)MnL](Y)_n, where Mn is manganese; L or each L is independently a polydentate ligand; each X is independently a coordinating particle and each µ-X is independently a bridging coordinating particle, and where Y is a non-coordinating counterion.

EFFECT: efficient use of the catalyst and high end product selectivity of the process.
