Method for producing epoxy compound

Abstract

There is provided a method for producing an epoxy compound having an epoxy ring bonded to a triazinetrione ring via a long chain alkylene group, an olefin compound having a specific structure is used to efficiently obtain an epoxy compound of which an olefin moiety is epoxidized in high yield. A method for producing an epoxy compound of Formula (2): including reacting a triolefin compound of the following Formula (1): (In the above-mentioned Formulae, R1 to R9 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and n1 to n3 are each independently an integer of 1 to 4) with hydrogen peroxide, a nitrile compound, and an alkaline substance in a solvent. The nitrile compound is an aliphatic nitrile compound or an aromatic nitrile compound. The alkaline substance is phosphate, carbonate, or an alkaline metal hydroxide.
