Single step etherification of fatty alcohols by an epihalohydrin

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919408011315

A new, single step synthesis of glycidyl ethers from an epihalohydrin (X = Cl, Br) and seven fatty alcohols is proposed in a poorly hydrated solid/liquid heterogeneous basic medium. The selectivity and the yields of the reaction are high. The structural analysis and the physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized products are reported.
