METHOD FOR MAKING AN EPOXIDE STARTING WITH A POLYHYDROXYLATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON AND A CHLORINATING AGENT

摘要

The invention concerns a method for making an epoxide which consists in subjecting in a reaction medium resulting from the reaction between a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a polyhydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof, and a chlorinating agent, the reaction medium containing at least 10 mg of chlorohydrin per kg of reaction medium, to a subsequent chemical reaction without any intermediate treatment.
