A process to recover optically active epoxy alcohols from asymmetric epoxidation reaction mixtures such as those produced using the Sharpless method of epoxidation of allylic alcohols. The process includes adding a reducing agent to reduce an organic hydroperoxide in the asymmetric epoxidation reaction product to a corresponding alcohol to form a reduced epoxidation reaction mixture; adding the reduced reaction product to a film evaporation unit to form a residue fraction and an optically active epoxy alcohol distillate fraction; and distilling the optically active epoxy alcohol distillate fraction to purify the optically active epoxy alcohol.
从不对称环氧化反应混合物中回收光学活性环氧醇的过程,例如使用Sharpless方法环氧化
烯丙醇所产生的混合物。该过程包括添加还原剂以将不对称环氧化反应产物中的有机过氧化物还原为相应的醇,形成还原环氧化反应混合物;将还原反应产物添加到薄膜蒸发装置中,形成残留物分数和光学活性环氧醇馏分;并蒸馏光学活性环氧醇馏分以纯化光学活性环氧醇。
