AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies for preparing vicinal diols suffer from problems such as complex processes, low raw material utilization, high emissions of waste, and high costs. Furthermore, the catalyst system is complex and difficult to operate.

Method used

The vicinal diol is directly oxidized by contact reaction of olefins, oxidants, and haloalcohols in the presence of titanium silicate molecular sieves and hydrated catalysts. This avoids the need for pre-preparation of epoxides, provides mild reaction conditions, simplifies operation, and improves the conversion and utilization rate of the oxidant.

Benefits of technology

It achieves highly selective production of vicinal diols, reduces separation energy consumption, and is suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
