Abstract
/MgAl-LDO(P123) as catalyst and methanol and propylene oxide as reaction raw materials showed that the conversion of propylene oxide reached 92.04% and the molecular weight of MPPG was 405 under the optimal reaction conditions. Moreover, the conversion of propylene oxide was maintained above 83.69% after the catalyst was reused six times. This study offers a new prospect for the green synthesis of MPPG products.
