The present invention provides a method for producing an epoxy compound by a reaction of an olefin compound with hydrogen peroxide, wherein the epoxy compound is stably and safely produced using a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer for reducing an oxygen gas generated from hydrogen peroxide. A method for producing an epoxy compound by a reaction of an olefin compound with hydrogen peroxide, wherein the reaction is carried out in the presence of an organophosphorus compound in such a reaction medium that the pH is maintained within a range of more than 7.5 and less than 12.0. The olefin compound may be 1,3,5-tris-(alkenyl)-isocyanurate. The alkenyl group in the olefin compound may be 3-butenyl group, 4-pentenyl group, 5-hexenyl group, 6-heptenyl group, or 7-octenyl group. The epoxy compound may be 1,3,5-tris-(epoxyalkyl)-isocyanurate. The reaction medium may be such a reaction medium that the pH is maintained within a range of 8.0 to 10.5.

Method for producing epoxy compound containing hydrogen peroxide stabilizer

There is provided a method for producing an epoxy compound having an epoxy ring bonded to a triazinetrione ring via a long chain alkylene group, an olefin compound having a specific structure is used to efficiently obtain an epoxy compound of which an olefin moiety is epoxidized in high yield. A method for producing an epoxy compound of Formula (2): including reacting a triolefin compound of the following Formula (1): (In the above-mentioned Formulae, Rto Rare each independently a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and n1 to n3 are each independently an integer of 1 to 4) with hydrogen peroxide, a nitrile compound, and an alkaline substance in a solvent. The nitrile compound is an aliphatic nitrile compound or an aromatic nitrile compound. The alkaline substance is phosphate, carbonate, or an alkaline metal hydroxide.
