Abstract 1. IN A PROCESS FOR PREPARING CHLOROHYDRINS BY REACTING HYPOCHLOROUS ACID WITH AN UNSATURATED ORGANIC COMPOUND HAVING FROM 2 TO ABOUT 20 CARBON ATOMS SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF OLEFINS, CYCLIC OLEFINS, MONOHYDROXY SUBSTITUTED OLEFINS HALIDES TO FORM A REACTION MIXTURE CONTAINING THE RESULTING CHLOROHYDRINS AND SEPARATING SAID CHLOROOHYDRINS FROM SAID REACTION MIXTURE, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES: (A) REACTING SAID UNSATURATED ORGANIC COMPOUND AT TEMPERATURES OF -25 TO +60* C., (B) WITH A SOLUTION OFF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID DISSOLVED IN AN ORGANIC SOLVENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF, (1) LOWER ALKYL KETONES, (2) LOWER ALKYL CYANIDES, (3) LOWER ALKYL ESTERS OF LOWER ALKANOIC ACIDS, WHEREIN EACH OF SAID LOWER ALKYLS CONTAIN FROM 1 TO 5 CARBON ATOMS, (1) SAID SOLUTION OF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID BEING ESSENTIALLY FREE OF CHLORIDE IONS BEING OBTAINED BY EXTRACTING HYPOCHLOROUS ACID FROM A HYPOCHLOROUS ACID REACTION MIXTURE WITH SAID ORGANIC SOLVENT, (C) SAID SOLUTION OFF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID CONTAINING FROM ABOUT 0.5 TO 50 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF HYPOCHLOOUS ACID, AND (D) SAID REACTION MIXTURE CONTAINING THE RESULTING CHLOROHYDRINS CONTAINING FROM 0.1 TO 25 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF WATER.
