Abstract

The present invention relates to the manufacture of solid materials or shaped bodies containing at least one zeolite and being at least partly crystalline. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the solid materials or shaped bodies as such and to the use of these materials for reactions of compounds having at least one C—C double bond with at least one hydroperoxide. Specifically, the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a solid material containing at least one zeolite and being at least partly crystalline, wherein the synthesis of the said solid material involves at least one partial step of contacting at least one transition metal oxide source with at least one epoxide or hydrolysate thereof prior to or during the at least partial crystallization of said solid material.
