Heterogenous Epoxidation of Isobutene Selectively Enabled by MoSe₂ in Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)

Herein, a high selective epoxidation of isobutene was achieved by heterogeneously dispersed MoSe₂ with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), which further showed versatile substrate scopes and well-retained activity among recycling tests. A rational mechanism is proposed based on e...
