Oxirane, [[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]methyl]-, (S)-

Description:

Oxirane, [[4-(2-methoxyethyl)phenoxy]methyl]-, (S)-, also known by its CAS number 105780-38-9, is a chiral compound characterized by the presence of an oxirane (epoxide) functional group, which is a three-membered cyclic ether. This structure imparts unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical reactions, particularly in the synthesis of more complex molecules. The compound features a phenoxy group, which enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its biological activity. The (S)- designation indicates that it has a specific stereochemistry, which can be crucial for its interactions in biological systems. Generally, compounds like this may exhibit properties such as moderate volatility, potential reactivity with nucleophiles due to the strained oxirane ring, and possible applications in pharmaceuticals or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential hazards, as compounds with epoxide groups can be toxic or irritating.
