CAS 13287-42-8: 2-(2-Bromoethyl)oxirane

Description: 2-(2-Bromoethyl)oxirane, also known as 2-bromoethyl epoxide, is a chemical compound characterized by its epoxide functional group, which consists of a three-membered cyclic ether. This compound features a bromoethyl substituent, making it a halogenated epoxide. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemical compounds. The epoxide ring is strained, which contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to undergo ring-opening reactions in the presence of nucleophiles. Additionally, 2-(2-Bromoethyl)oxirane is considered to have potential applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. However, due to the presence of bromine, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal in accordance with safety regulations.
