Patent AT-E401318-T1: [Translated] METHOD FOR PRODUCING EPICHLOROHYDRIN FROM ETHANE

Published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Metadata Last Checked: September 07, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-06
A process for preparing epichlorohydrin comprises (1) converting ethane to 1,2-dichloroethylene (cis/trans mixture) in the presence of a catalyst; (2) producing 2,3­dichloropropanal by (a) hydroformylating the 1,2­- dichloroethylene in the presence of a catalyst, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, (b) adding MeOH to the 1,2­dichloroethylene, or (c) subjecting the 1,2-dichloroethylene to direct reductive hydroformylation in the presence of a reductive hydroformylation catalyst; and (3) epoxidizing the 2,3-DCH with a base to produce epichlorohydrin.
