Abstract

The hydrolyzable "chloride" contents of epoxides prepared from epihalohydrins and phenols, aromatic amines or >N-H group-containing heterocycles are considerably reduced by a second dehydrochlorination step which comprises dissolving the epoxide in a solvent having the characteristics of a 1:1 by weight blend of methylethylketone and toluene and treating it with amounts of base and water ensuring a final base concentration equivalent to that of about 4 wt. % aqueous NaOH.
