The synthesis of oxovanadium alkoxides with 2-aryloxy- and 2-alkoxyethanol ligands and their use for the polymerization and oxidation of unfunctionalized olefins is described, The catalytic epoxidation of the complexes with tert-butyl hydroperoxide is discussed. Catalytic polymerizations in combination with different cocatalysts and methyl trichloro acetate as promoter generate different reaction products than without promoter.
