Catalysts useful for oxidation reactions are disclosed. The catalysts comprise
a polymer-encapsulated titanium zeolite. The catalysts are easy to prepare and
use, they are easy to recover and reuse, and they provide good conversions in a
variety of important oxidation processes. The invention includes a process which
comprises oxidizing an organic compound in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and
a polymer-encapsulated titanium zeolite. In one example, the organic compound is
propylene and the reaction product is propylene oxide.
