Halogen hydrines

The course of this reaction was proved by Hilt et al.42> 54 > who used as copolymerization initiators 14C-labelled sodium and potassium benzoate. The activity of the prepared copolymer is due to the labelled and chemically bound initiator anion. This reaction is analogous to the analytic determination of epoxides by hydrogen halides 59 but instead of inactive halogen hydrine generaled according to Eq. (12), an ionic particle capable of initiating copolymerization is formed. 

Halogen Hydrines.— Another type of halogen-alcohol is possible in the case of alcohols containing two or more carbon groups. The halogen may enter the other carbon group than the one in which the hydroxyl is already present, e.g.,... 

From the higher poly-hydroxy alcohols similar halogen-alcohols are obtained, which are known, also, as halogen-hydrines, e.g. ... 

The halogen acids, of course, bear the same relation to the halogen aldehydes and the halogen alcohols (halogen hydrines) that unsubstituted acids do to the unsubstituled aldehydes and alcohols. That is, they are the direct oxidation products. 

From these so-called halogen hydrines, by the action of alkalies the inner anhydrides of the glycols are obtained ...
