The syntheses of new materials using vegetable oils have increased due to technological interest and low environmental impact. Baru nut provides baru oil, rich in linoleic and oleic fatty acids that can be modified into epoxides compounds. Thus, the optimization of the epoxidation synthesis of baru vegetable oil by the conventional thermal route was investigated using green and quick heterogeneous catalytic method. The raw baru oil and epoxidized oil were characterized by titrimetric, spectroscopic, and thermal analyses. Here we demonstrate that the epoxidation of baru oil does not require 6 h or 25% of catalyst as reported in the literature. However, it was possible to achieve ≥ 99% of alkenes conversion into epoxide rings in just 3 h of reaction with 10% of heterogeneous catalyst.

由于技术兴趣和低环境影响，使用植物油的新材料的合成有所增加。Baru nut 提供 baru 油，富含亚油酸和油酸脂肪酸，可以改性为环氧化物化合物。因此，采用绿色、快速的多相催化方法研究了传统热路线对巴鲁植物油环氧化合成的优化。粗巴鲁油和环氧化油通过滴定、光谱和热分析表征。在这里，我们证明巴鲁油的环氧化不需要文献中报道的 6 小时或 25% 的催化剂。然而，在与 10% 的多相催化剂反应的短短 3 小时内，就有可能实现≥ 99% 的烯烃转化为环氧化物环。
