ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention is directed to a process for preparing glycidyl derivatives of compounds having at least one aromatic hydroxyl group or aromatic amine group per molecule by reacting at least one compound having at least one aromatic hydroxyl group or aromatic amine group per molecule with an excess of at least one epihalohydrin in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxlde and subsequently recovering the glycidyl derivative product. The process is characterized by (1) conducting the reaction in the presence of an organic solvent which codistills with water and said epihalohydrin at a boiling point below the boiling point of the lowest boiling compound among the compo- nents in the reaction mixture; (2) conducting the reaction at a temperature and a reduced pressure suffi- cient to provide a distillate with a boiling point of from 45°C to 80°C; (3) employing said alkali metal hydroxide as an aqueous solution and adding said aqueous alkali metal hydroxide in a continuous manner over a period of from 0.5 to 10 hours; (4) continuously remov- ing water by means of codistillation at a rate such that the water content of the reaction mixture is less than 6 percent by weight; and (5) separating the water from the codistillate and returning the solvent and epihalohydrin to the reaction mixture. The process of this invention maximizes the epihalohydrin yields and produces epoxy resins low in hydrolyzable halide.
