The present invention discloses a polymeric polyol composition useful for making polyurethane polymers, especially polyurethane foams. Said polyurethane polymer foams demonstrate a good balance of mechanical properties, physical properties, and low emissions. The polymeric polyol composition is the reaction product(s) of (i) a polyamine initiator composition comprising the polymerization product(s) of aminoethylpiperazine with (ii) at least one epoxide compound, at least one glycidyl ether compound, or mixtures thereof.

A 2,3-dihalopropanol is made by reacting 2,3-dihalopropanal with molecular hydrogen in the presence of a transition metal-containing catalyst, under conditions such that 2,3-dihalopropanol is formed. The reaction is particularly useful, for example, as Step (3) in a process to make epihalohydrin which may be generally prepared by:

4,6-Dinitroresorcinol is prepared by reacting resorcinol with concentrated nitric acid that is substantially free of suboxides of nitric acid. It has been found that greater than 60 percent yields of the desired product can be obtained when the concentration of aqueous nitric acid used is between about 80 and about 93 weight percent, and the concentration of suboxides is less than about 2 weight percent based on the weight of nitric acid.
