Abstract

The usefulness of ethylene oxide in synthetic work has been demonstrated in convincing fashion during the past few years, and for this reason a peculiarly attractive field of investigation is offered by a study of the closely related glycidol, I (epihydrin alcohol). This com- pound has not been readily available, nor have its chemical /'\ properties been adequately studied. Its synthesis has therefore been carefully investigated by the writers with a view to an extensive study of its ...
