Abstract:
    The invention provides a process for producing a 1,2-diol through the reaction of an olefin with hydrogen peroxide. The process is highly efficient and highly selective and catalyst recovery and reuse are easy. It does not use any strong acid or strong base causative of apparatus corrosion. The process for producing a 1,2-diol related in the invention is characterized by reacting an olefin with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a polymer having a sulfo group.
