:Oxiraneethanol
Description:
Oxiraneethanol, also known as 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)oxirane, is a chemical compound characterized by the presence of both an epoxide group and a hydroxyl group. Its molecular structure features a three-membered oxirane ring, which contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions. The hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in water and polar solvents, making it useful in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Oxiraneethanol is typically a colorless liquid with a mild odor and is known for its potential as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polymers and other functionalized materials. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage and handling procedures should be followed to mitigate any hazards associated with its use.
