✦ Synopsis

A novel method of synthesis of glycidyl carboxylates (2,3-epoxypropyl carboxylates, RCOOCH 2 CH-CH 2 O) has been developed by carrying out the reaction of epichlorhydrin with a carboxylic acid in the presence of chromium acetate catalyst and subsequent dehydrochlorination of the resulting mixture of chlorohydrin esters followed by their separation.
