Epichlorohydrin by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, this is an organochlorine compound and an epoxide. The reagent is available as a colourless liquid which is poorly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 25.6 C and a boiling point of 117.9 C. Epichlorohydrin can be synthesized using allyl chloride in two steps. While it is stable under general conditions, this reagent is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 106-89-8 Quantity Provided: 500 ml per bottle Molecular formula: C3H5ClO Molecular weight: 92.52 Assay: 99 % Analytical grade reagentEpichlorohydrin has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This compound finds several applications in the synthesis of various organic derivatives. Epichlorohydrin acts as a precursor to bisphenol A diglycidyl ether, which is a building block in the manufacture of epoxy resins. It is also converted to glycidyl nitrate, an energetic binder employed in explosive and propellant compositions. Epichlorohydrin also finds use as a solvent for cellulose, resins, and paints, and as an insect fumigant. This reagent is suitable for the industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
