Preparation of Phenyl glycidyl ether: it can be prepared by phenol and epoxychloropropane via condensation in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Mix phenol with sodium hydroxide by stirring, then cool the mixture to 5-6 °C. And add epoxychloropropane slowly. The reaction time is 45 hours by stirring at reaction temperature of 25 °C. Then you can get the product via a series of extraction by ether, drying by anhydrous potassium carbonate, filtering and vacuum distillation. The equation as follows:

Uses of Phenyl glycidyl ether: it can be used as reactive diluent for epoxy resin and intermediates for organic synthesis. And it can be used to get 3-phenoxy-propane-1,2-diol and 1-chloro-3-phenoxy-propan-2-ol. This reaction will need reagents LiCl and silica gel. The reaction time is 22 days with ambient temperature. The yield is about 33%.

When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
This chemical is harmful by inhalation, irritating to respiratory system and skin and may cause sensitization by skin contact. And it may cause cancer. It has risk of irreversible effects possibly. In addition, it is harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. You should avoid exposure-obtain special instruction before use.
