Process for manufacturing an alpha-dihydroxy derivative and epoxy resins prepared therefrom

摘要

A process for manufacturing an alpha-dihydroxy derivative from an aryl allyl ether wherein such alpha-dihydroxy derivative can be used to prepare an alpha-halohydrin intermediate and an epoxy resin prepared therefrom including epoxidizing an alpha-halohydrin intermediate produced from a halide substitution of an alpha-dihydroxy derivative which has been obtained by a dihydroxylation reaction of an aryl allyl ether in the presence of an oxidant or in the presence of an oxidant and a catalyst.
