Can a stable halohydrin be formed in which the halogen is bound directly to the carbon atom with the hydroxyl gronup (example: chloromethanol CH2ClOH)? Polonium 22:49, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Synthesis from epoxides

[edit]

I have the impression that the last 2/3 of this paragraph concern the synthesis of epoxides from halohydrins, and not the other way around.

  • The first sentence seems to say, without source, that chlorohydrin precursors to important epoxides are produced from (other?) epoxides. Which ones? Seems a bit strange to industrially produce propylene chlorohydrin from propylene oxide (I don't see any other epoxide that can be used for that), to then produce propylene oxide from propylene chlorohydrin. In addition, the article about epichlorohydrin says it is produced from 2,3-dichloro-1-propnol and 1,3-dichloro-2-propnol, the first one been produced from allyl chloride, the second either from allyl chloride or glycerol, and never mention an epoxide precursor to these chlorohydrins.
  • The second sentence is about the fact that ethylene oxide used to be produced from 2-chloroethanol. What does it have to do with the synthesis of halohydrins from epoxides?
