EPOXIDATION OF METHALLYL CHLORIDE WITH T-BUTYL HYDROPEROXIDE

By applying a statistical method of experiment planning the optimum co nditions of methallyl chloride epoxidation with t-butyl hydroperoxide have been determined. The influences of the temperature, molar ratio o f the methallyl chloride to t-butyl hydroperoxide, catalyst concentrat ion and reaction time on the selectivity of the synthesis of methylgly cerol epichlorohydrine in relation to reacted t-butyl hydroperoxide ha ve been examined.
