Abstract
The invention is a process for the preparation of halohydroxyalkyl carbamates which comprises contacting an epihalohydrin carbonate with a secondary amine-containing compound, wherein the secondary amine has a pKa at which the secondary amine will react with the epihalohydrin carbonate and which does not catalyze the formation of unwanted by-products in the further presence of an acid scavenger capable of forming a salt with the hydrogen halide by-product formed, in an amount sufficient to prevent the formation of unwanted by-products, in a polar organic solvent under conditions such that a halohydroxyalkyl carbamate, wherein the carbamate nitrogen is tertiary, is prepared. Another aspect of this invention is the further step of contacting the 3-halo-2-hydroxyalkyl carbamate with an ion-exchange resin with pendant moieties containing hydroxide moieties in a lower alkanol solvent under conditions such that the 3-halo-2-hydroxyalkyl moieties are converted to 2,3-epoxyalkyl moieties so as to prepare a 2,3-epoxyalkyl carbamate.
