Epichlorohydrin

Epichlorohydrin (abbreviated ECH) is an organochlorine compound and an epoxide. Despite its name, it is not a chlorohydrin. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent, garlic-like odor, moderately soluble in water, but miscible with most polar organic solvents. It is a chiralmolecule generally existing as a racemic mixture of right-handed and left-handed enantiomers. Epichlorohydrin is a highly reactive compound and is used in the production of glycerol, plastics, epoxy glues and resins, and elastomers. In contact with water, epichlorohydrin hydrolyzes to 3-MCPD, a carcinogen found in food.

PRODUCTION of EPICHLOROHYDRINE:
Epichlorohydrin is traditionally manufactured from allyl chloride in two steps, beginning with the addition of hypochlorous acid, which affords a mixture of two isomeric alcohols:
In the second step, this mixture is treated with base to give the epoxide.
In this way, more than 800,000 tons (1997) of epichlorohydrin are produced annually.
Glycerol routes:
Epichlorohydrin was first described in 1848 by Marcellin Berthelot.
The compound was isolated during studies on reactions between glycerol and gaseous hydrogen chloride.
Reminiscent of Berthelot’s experiment, glycerol-to-epichlorohydrin (GTE) plants have been commercialized.
This technology capitalizes on the availability of cheap glycerol from biofuels processing.
Glycerol undergoes two substitution reactions when treated with hydrogen chloride in the presence of a carboxylic acid catalyst.
This is the same intermediate formed in the allyl chloride/hypochlorous acid process, and is likewise then treated with base to form epichlorohydrin.
Other routes:
Routes that involve fewer chlorinated intermediates have continued to attract interest.
One such process entails epoxidation of allyl chloride.
Epichlorohydrin is not found naturally.
Epichlorohydrin is produced synthetically by way of the conversion of propylene with chlorine gas at 600°C and hydrolysis with calcium hydroxide.
The technical product always contains certain impurities.
Epichlorohydrin production from Glycerine (Glycerol) – EPIPROVIT is an innovative and efficient technology to produce Epichlorohydrin from Glycerine – a by-product of the biodiesel production – widely available and a sustainable raw material.
The conventional way of producing Epichlorohydrin is a multi-step process based on propylene, which is obtained petrochemically.
The high propylene prices fluctuate, while the large, available quantities of raw Glycerine, obtained as a by-product of biodiesel production, have increased the interest in processes where the glycerol is used as a raw material.
In recent years the production of Epichlorohydrin has followed the “green” trend in the chemical industry: environmentally friendly raw materials and sustainable engineering.
Epichlorohydrin can be prepared from 1,3-dichloropropanol-2, 2,3- dichloropropanol-1, or allyl chloride.
Commercially Epichlorohydrin is prepared as an intermediate in glycerol synthesis via alkaline hydrolysis of glycerol dichlorohydrin.
Both come from allyl chloride.
Epichlorohydrin reacts with monohydric alcohols to give ethers by opening the oxide ring.
Epichlorohydrin will react with ethers, aldehydes, ketones, organic acids and amines to give a wide variety of useful syntheses.
