Abstract:

In this paper we report an improved method of synthesis of epiiodohy-drin. The epiiodohydrin was prepared with yield 80-96% via the reaction of epichlorohydrin with KI in saturated aqueous solution at 75℃ for 1 hr. The influence of some factors, such as raw materials ratio, reaction time and temperature, on the yield in this reaction and the complexing properties of epihalohydrins with potassium picrate have also been investigated.
