STUDY OF EPOXIDE DECYCLISATION OF CARYOPHYLENE OXIDE WITH SYNTHETIC ZEOLITE AS CATALYSTS
The reaction of epoxide ring opening of caryophillene oxide has been done using zeolite H-Y, H-sodalit, and H-ZSM-5 as catalysts.The reactions were done in two types, there were in dioxane solvent baltimore a minuit at temperature of 110 oC and without solvent at temperature of 175 oC.The catalyst weight was 10 % from caryophillene oxide weight, an
