Epoxy resins comprising a cis, trans-1,3- and -1,4-cyclohexanedimethylether moiety and processes for preparing the epoxy resins. The process of preparation of the epoxy resins comprises reacting (a) a mixture of a cis-1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, a trans-1,3-cyclohexanedimethanol, a cis-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and a trans-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, (b) an epihalohydrin, (c) a basic acting substance, (d) optionally, a solvent, (e) optionally, a catalyst, and/or (f) optionally, a dehydrating agent. The process may be a slurry epoxidation process, an anhydrous epoxidation process, or a Lewis acid catalyzed coupling and epoxidation process.
