PROCESS FOR PREPARING HYDROXYLIC COMPOUNDS

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing hydroxylic compounds from mixtures of halogenated products, containing one or two halogen atoms grafted onto an alkyl and/or alyl radical, consisting in heating the mixture of halogenated products with sodium formiate in methanol at a molar ratio of the halogenated product/sodium formiate/ methanol of 1:1.25 ... 2.5: 4-8 at a temperature ranging from 180 to 240 degrees C, at a pressure from 30 to 140 at, for 2 to 10 h, and the resulting product is treated chemically with sodium hydroxide and separated by distillation at the atmospheric pressure.
