Epichlorohydrins

Glycerol ct-dichlorohydrin, sym-dichloroiso-propyl alcohol, 1,3-dichloro-2-hydroxypropane, CH2CI-CHOH-CH2C1. Colourless liquid with an ethereal odour b.p. 174-175" C. Prepared by passing dry HCl into glycerin containing 2% elhanoic acid at 100-1 lO C. Converted to x-epichlorohydrin by K.OH, Used as a solvent for cellulose nitrate and resins. 

Glycerol -dichlorohydrin, 2.3-dichloro-propanol, CH2CI CHC1 CH2 0H. Colourless liquid, b.p. 182 C. Prepared by the chlorination of propenyl alcohol. Oxidized by nitric acid to 1,2-dichloropropionic acid. Reacts with NaOH to give epichlorohydrin. 

Epichlorohydrin (1 mol) was added dropwise over a period of 1.5 h to a solution of 2.2 mol of sodium acetylide in 1.5 1 of liquid ammonia. During, as well as for a period of 1.5 h after, the addition the temperature of the mixture was kept at about -45°C. The cooling bath was removed after this period and the mixture was agitated vigorously for another 3 h. The thermometer and vent were removed, and 75 g of powdered ammonium chloride v/ere added in 2-g portions with vigorous stirring. The atimonia was allowed to evaporate. 

Epichlorohydrin is a product of covulcanization of epichlorohydrin (epoxy) polymers with rubbers, especially di-polybutadiene.

Cationic monomers are used to enhance adsorption on waste soHds and faciHtate flocculation (31). One of the first used in water treatment processes (10) is obtained by the cyclization of dimethyldiallylammonium chloride in 60—70 wt % aqueous solution (43) (see Water). Another cationic water-soluble polymer, poly(dimethylarnine-fi9-epichlorohydrin) (11), prepared by the step-growth... 

Epoxy Resins. The chemistry of epoxy resin adhesives is quite varied. However, the most widely used is that formed from the reaction of 4,4 -isopropyhdene diphenol (bisphenol A) [80-05-7] and epichlorohydrin [106-89-8] C H CIO. This epoxy resin is more commonly known as...

PoIya.mines are condensation polymers containing nitrogen they are made by a variety of synthetic routes. Most of the commercial polyamines are made by reaction of epichlorohydrin with amines such as methylamine [25988-97-0] or dimethylamine [39660-17-8] (18,19). Branching can be increased by a dding small amounts of diamines such as ethylenediamine [42751-79-1]. A typical stmcture of this type of polyamine is stmcture (9). 

The boric and sulfuric acids are recycled to a HBF solution by reaction with CaF2. As a strong acid, fluoroboric acid is frequently used as an acid catalyst, eg, in synthesizing mixed polyol esters (29). This process provides an inexpensive route to confectioner s hard-butter compositions which are substitutes for cocoa butter in chocolate candies (see Chocolate and cocoa). Epichlorohydrin is polymerized in the presence of HBF for eventual conversion to polyglycidyl ethers (30) (see Chlorohydrins). A more concentrated solution, 61—71% HBF, catalyzes the addition of CO and water to olefins under pressure to form neo acids (31) (see Carboxylic acids). 

One of the first attempts to produce polyurethane was from the reaction of an intermediate polyol of 1,3- and l,4-bis(hydroxyhexa uoroisopropyl)benzene m- and -12F-diols) by reaction with epichlorohydrin. This polyol was subsequentiy allowed to react with a commercial triisocyanate, resulting in a tough, cross-linked polyurethane (129,135,139). ASTM and military specification tests on these polyurethanes for weather resistance, corrosion prevention, bUster resistance, and ease of cleaning showed them to compare quite favorably with standard resin formulations. 

Polyoxymethylene Ionomers. Ionic copolymers have been prepared from trioxane and epichlorohydrin, followed by reaction with disodium thioglycolate (76). The ionic forces in these materials dismpt crystalline order and increase melt viscosity (see Acetalresins).
