2,2-Bis(chloromethyl)oxirane

Description:
2,2-Bis(chloromethyl)oxirane, also known as bis(chloromethyl)epoxide, is a chemical compound characterized by its epoxide functional group and two chloromethyl substituents. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor and is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the presence of the epoxide ring. The compound is classified as a potential carcinogen and poses health risks upon exposure, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. 2,2-Bis(chloromethyl)oxirane is primarily used in the synthesis of various polymers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of chlorinated compounds. Its reactivity allows it to participate in cross-linking reactions, making it valuable in the development of coatings and adhesives. Due to its hazardous nature, it is subject to strict regulatory controls in many jurisdictions.
