PROCESS FOR PRODUCING EPOXY COMPOUND, EPOXY RESIN COMPOSITION AND USE THEREOF, ULTRAVIOLET-CURABLE CAN COATING COMPOSITION, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING COATED METAL CAN

摘要

A process for producing an alicyclic epoxy compound represented by the formula (II) which comprises epoxidizing an alicyclic olefin compound represented by the formula (I) with an aliphatic peroxycarboxylic acid having a water content of 2 wt.% or lower; and a resin composition containing the compound represented by the formula (II). (In the formulae, X is a divalent atom or group such as -O-, -S-, -SO-, -SO2-, -CH2-, -C(CH3)2-, -CBr-, -C(CBr3)2-, -C(CF3)2-, -C(CCl3)2-, or -CH(C6H5)-, or a single bond; and R?1 to R18¿ are the same or different and each represents hydrogen, halogeno, a hydrocarbon group optionally containing one or more oxygen or halogen atoms, or optionally substituted alkoxy.)
