Abstract: The process of epoxidation of methallyl chloride to β-methylepichlorohydrin was carried out with a 30 % hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the titanium silicalite catalyst TS-1. The process was carried out in an autoclave or in a glass reactor at atmospheric pressure. The optimum technological parameters (temperature 20°C, mole ratio n(MAC)/n(H₂O₂) 1:1, methanol content 40 mass %, TS- 1 content 1.0—2.0 mass %, reaction time 120 min) were determined so that the applied epoxidation system allowed obtaining β-methylepichlorohydrin with a good selectivity (93—94 mole %) and high conversion of hydrogen peroxide (95—99 mole %).
