Abstract
Epoxides or glycols are produced by passing a gaseous olefin through a reaction mixture containing a halogenating enzyme, an oxidizing agent and a halide ion source whereby the olefin is converted to a halohydrin. The halohydrin is converted to an epoxide which may be converted by hydration to a glycol. Conversion of the halohydrin to an epoxide may be carried out enzymatically.
