A B S T R A C T PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF POLYGLYCIDYLETHERS A process for the manufacture of a poly(.beta.-hydro-carbylallyl)ether of a polyhydric compound, which comprises contacting at an elevated temperature an allyl halide of formula I, H2C=CR-CH2X I wherein R is a hydrocarbyl radical and X is a halogen atom, with a polyhydric compound in the presence of a medium comprising water and an organic solvent, a catalyst, and a base, characterised in that the base has a pKb of more than 4, comprises a monovalent anion, and is selected from bases that are capable of being transformed under the reaction conditions to compounds that will be liberated from the reaction system. |
