The authors study the oxidation of cyclohexene (CX) in the presence of MoO/sub 3/ and molybdates of Co, Mn, and Ag in order to elacidate the role of Mo-based heterogeneous catalysts in the oxidation by molecular O/sub 2/ and in hydroperoxide epoxidation. Under the conditions of low-temperature oxidation of cyclohexene, cobalt (II) molybdate catalyzes the epoxidation of the double bond by the cyclohexene hydroperoxide which is formed. The catalytic function of manganese (II) molybdate is connected with radical breakdown of hydroperoxide on its surface. The catalytic function of silver molybdate is associated with mutual activated absorption of oxygen and hydroperoxide on its surface. Formation of hydroperoxide takes place in the surface layers without giving rise to radicals in the liquid phase.
