Abstract
The epihalohydrin yield in a process for preparing low molecular weight epoxy resins by coupling a polyhydric phenol and an epihalohydrin in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide and subsequent dehydrohalogenation is improved by employing stoichiometric quantities of the alkali metal hydroxide with respect to the polyhydric phenol in the coupling reaction and also conducting the coupling reaction in the presence of a halohydrin that is at least as reactive as the halohydrin being formed.
