The present invention relates to a process for producing chlorohydrin by reacting a chlorinated species, such as hypochlorous acid, with at least one unsaturated organic compound, such as propylene or butylene, at a pH above 6.0. Chlorinated species are formed in the first step by reacting a chlorine source, such as Cl 2 gas, with an aqueous pH control source, such as aqueous NaOH. |
