Ethers cyclic, reactions

In some cases the presence of both redox and Bransted acid sites can be an asset as it can provide the possibility of performing bifiinctional catalysis. For example, Ti-BEA and Ti-MCM-41 (see later) catalyzed the epoxidation of linalool with TBHP, with in-situ acid-catalyzed rearrangement to a mixture of cyclic ethers (Reaction 14) [S6].
