A process for producing highly pure 3-1-menthoxypropane-1,2-diol safely and efficiently, and an intermediate to be used in the process. 3-1-menthoxypropane-1,2-diol represented by the chemical formula (IV) is produced by adding 1-menthol to a 1,2-epoxy-3-halogenopropane represented by the following general formula (I) (wherein X represents a halogen atom) in an organic solvent in the presence of a Lewis acid to produce a novel 1-halogeno-3-1-menthoxypropan-2-ol represented by the following general formula (II), then, epoxidating it with a base in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst to produce a 1,2-epoxy-3-1-menthoxypropane represented by the chemical formula (III), and further hydrolyzing it.
一种安全高效地生产高纯度 3-1-薄荷氧基丙烷-1,2-二醇的工艺,以及用于该工艺的中间体。在路易斯酸存在下,在有机溶剂中将 1-薄荷醇加入到下式通式(I)(其中 X 代表卤素原子)所代表的 1,2-环氧-3-卤代丙烷中,生成下式通式(II)所代表的新型 1-卤代-3-1-薄荷氧基丙-2-醇,从而制得化学式(IV)所代表的 3-1-薄荷氧基丙烷-1,2-二醇、然后,在相转移催化剂存在下,用碱将其环氧化,生成化学式(III)代表的 1,2-环氧-3-1-薄荷氧基丙烷,并将其进一步水解。
