(R)-(+)-Glycidol Chemical Properties, Uses, Production
Synthesis
Under stirring, NaOH (36.19 g, 0.905 mol) was slowly added to a solution of chlorodiol (100.0 g, 0.905 mol) and ethanol (200 mL) at 0-5°C. The reaction mixture was then stirred at 0-5°C for 2 hours. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove the insoluble solid precipitate. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum at 40°C to obtain the target product (R)-(+)-Glycidol (note that (R)-(+)-Glycidol has a low boiling point and requires low-temperature treatment during vacuum concentration in post-processing).
