Description:(R)-Epichlorohydrin is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CHClO). It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor. It has been used as an industrial solvent and in the production of other chemicals. It can also be used to inhibit microbial growth by reacting with sulfhydryl groups, which are necessary for some enzymes to function. (R)-Epichlorohydrin is synthesized from dichloroethane by chlorination followed by oxidation: The reaction mechanism proceeds through chlorination of the ethylene molecule followed by a stepwise oxidation of the resultant chlorine atoms to form epichlorohydrin: The first step involves conversion of dichloroethane into dichloroethylene, which reacts with chlorine gas to produce ethyl chloride: This intermediate then reacts with hydrogen peroxide (HOOH) to form chloroethanol, which in turn reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to
