Abstract
Titanium silicate zeolite (TS-1) is widely used in the research on selective oxidations of organic substrates by H2O2. Compared with the chlorohydrin process and the hydroperoxidation process, the TS-1 catalyzed hydroperoxide epoxidation of propylene oxide (HPPO) has advantages in terms of by-products and environmental friendliness. This article reviews the latest progress in propylene epoxidation catalyzed by TS-1, including the HPPO process and gas phase epoxidation. The preparation and modification of TS-1 for green and sustainable production are summarized, including the use of low-cost feedstocks, the development of synthetic routes, strategies to enhance mass transfer in TS-1 crystal and the enhancement of catalytic performance after modification. In particular, this article summarizes the catalytic mechanisms and advanced characterization techniques for propylene epoxidation in recent years. Finally, the present situation, development prospect and challenge of propylene epoxidation catalyzed by TS-1 were prospected.

Abstract
In order to probe into the mechanism of solvolysis (alcoholysis/hydrolysis) of propylene oxide (PO), the formation of propylene glycol (PG), 1-methoxy-2-propanol (PPM) and 2-methoxy-1-propanol (SPM) over the TS-1 catalyst with tetrahedral Ti and Ti/defect sites was systematically discussed using an embedded quantum mechanical/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach. The results showed that the activity of PO solvolysis is closely related to the ring-opening ability of active substances, and the ring-opening ability is in the following order: Si-O(H)-Ti > Ti-OH > 5MR Ti-OOH > Ti-OCH3 (tetrahedral Ti site); 3MR Ti-OOH > Ti-OH > 5MR Ti-OOH > Ti-OCH3 (Ti/defect site). At the tetrahedral site, the concerted mechanism is the dominant pathway for PO ring opening to form PPM, while a competitive relationship exists between stepwise and concerted mechanisms to form PG and SPM. Si-O(H)-Ti exhibits excellent PO ring-opening activity because of its strong Brønsted acidity, but it is difficult to form. At the Ti/defect site, the stepwise mechanism via PO ring opening with 3MR Ti-OOH and then successive hydrolysis/alcoholysis to form product is the dominant pathway. The overall energy barrier of the optimal route is relatively lower as compared to the tetrahedral Ti site. This work opens up a new path for providing more information on the detailed mechanism in the solvolysis of PO over the TS-1 catalyst from a theoretical point of view.

Molecular Structure Effect on the Epoxidation of 1-Butene and Isobutene on the Titanium Silicate Catalyst under Transient Conditions in a Trickle Bed Reactor. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:25710-25726.

Abstract
Epoxidation of two butane isomers (1-butene and isobutene) on the commercial titanium silicate (TS-1) catalyst was studied in a laboratory-scale trickle bed reactor. The transient step response technique was used as the main tool in the investigation. The transient responses revealed different dynamics of product formation in continuous operation. The study of isomers showed the impact of the molecular structure on the transient and stationary states of the system. The four-carbon chain present in 1-butene displayed a dynamic behavior with a prominent maximum of the conversion as a function of time-on-stream. On the contrary, the behavior of isobutene was displayed to be closer to ethene and propene under similar conditions reaching a steady state after ca. 2 h. The structure of the epoxide was an important factor in order to achieve a high epoxide selectivity. In isobutene epoxidation, the primary product 1,2-epoxy-2-methylpropane was highly reactive, giving a spectrum of parallelly formed byproducts. Therefore, the selectivity of the epoxide from isobutene was limited to ca. 70%. In the epoxidation of 1-butene, 1,2-epoxybutane was displayed to be a highly stable product with a selectivity close to 99%. Based on the transient and stationary data, a reaction mechanism was proposed for the epoxidation and ring-opening reactions present in the system.

Abstract
We present here that easily available organic salts can stabilize/modify niobium (Nb) oxo-clusters. The as-synthesized Nb oxo-clusters have been characterized by various methods. These Nb oxo-clusters were catalytically active for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols and olefins with H2O2 as an oxidant. Notably, Nb-OC@TBAF-0.5 appeared as highly dispersed nanosized particles and showed the highest catalytic activity, which can be attributed to the following reasons on the basis of characterization. First, the strong coordination of fluorine ions with Nb sites and the steric protection with bulky organic cations led to high stabilization and dispersion of the oxo-clusters in the course of the reaction. Second, a hydrogen-bond interaction between the coordinated fluorine atom and the -OH group of allylic alcohol favored the epoxidation reaction. Third, the electron density of Nb sites decreased due to the strong electron-withdrawing ability of F- adjacent to Nb sites, thus promoting the electrophilic oxygen transfer to the C═C bond.
