APPLICATIONS
Ethylene Chlorohydrin is used as a solvent for celluloses resins and waxes and as a cleaning agent. It is also an extraction solvent for the separation of butadiene from hydrocarbon mixtures, for the dewaxing and removing cycloalkanes from mineral oil, for pure lignin and for the refining of rosin. It is used as a hydroxyethylating agent in organic synthesis such as ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, amines, carbitols, indigo, malonic acid and novocaine. Its end aplications include dye intermediates, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pesticides, plasticizers and others.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF HALOHYDRIN
Halohydrin is an alkane compound in which one carbon has a halogen substituent and the other carbon has a hydroxyl substituent. Halohydrin undergoes internal SN2 reaction to an ether (epoxide). Certain halohydrin is used as a solvent and as a cleaning agent. 3-Bromo-1-Propanol, trimethylene bromohydrin, is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of target molecules.
