Abstract
A process for hypochlorinating unsaturated alpha-olefins to produce chlorohydrins which comprises forming a microemulsion of water and an unsaturated alpha-olefin and then adding an oxidant to the microemulsion under conditions sufficient to form the chlorohydrins. The microemulsion is formed by adding a non-nucleophilic surfactant and, optionally, a co-surfactant, to the mixture of water and unsaturated alpha-olefin.
